Gyrinus aquiris
LeConte, 1868
Gyrinus aquiris
was reported from
New Brunswick
by
Oygur and Wolfe (1991)
and
Roughley (1991)
and from
Nova Scotia
by
Campbell et al. (1987)
(Fig. 8). In
Nova Scotia
it has only been found on
Cape Breton Island
(Fig. 2). Although
Roughley (1991)
reported it from
Prince Edward Island
,
Majka (2008)
removed it from the province’s faunal list since there are no voucher specimens or published records.
Morrissette (1979)
reported the species from ponds and lakes invaded by aquatic plants.
Oygur and Wolfe (1991)
reported 80% of specimens from lentic habitats.
