Stenus erythropus
is newly recorded on
Prince Edward Island
. Its distribution in Atlantic
Canada
is shown in
Fig. 13
. It was previously recorded from
New Brunswick
and
Nova Scotia
(
Campbell and Davies 1991
).
Stenus erythropus
is not a species hitherto noted from coastal habitats, and indeed there are a number of specimen records in the Maritime Provinces from inland, non-marine situations (unpublished data). Like many species in this genus they are frequently encountered near streams or in other aquatic situations (
Newton et al. 2000
). As the above records indicate, in the Maritime Provinces they are occasionally found in coastal marshy and/or sand dune environments.
