Collection localities in New Brunswick, Canada of
Boreophila eremita
.
Collection and habitat data.
Boreophila eremita
was collected from various marsh habitats in New Brunswick. Adults were collected by treading vegetation in a seasonally flooded marsh, sifted from leaf litter and grass litter under alders in a
Carex
marsh, sifted from woody litter at the base of a dead red maple in a
Carex
marsh (probably an overwintering site), and sifted from leaf litter in a red oak marsh surrounded by a completely flooded marsh. One individual was collected with an aerial net during a warm (20°C) afternoon. Adults were captured during May and July in New Brunswick. No other habitat data are available from Canada and Alaska (
Klimaszewski et al. 2011
).
