Leiodes assimilis was recorded from New Brunswick , Newfoundland, Labrador, and Nova Scotia by Baranowski (1993) ( Fig. 4 ). It is found in open country and forests, especially relatively open deciduous forests, and is a good flyer ( Baranowski 1993 ). In Nova Scotia , it is found in both coniferous and mixed coastal forests. Of particular note is an isolated population on Sable Island that occurs in sand-dune environments ( Howden 1970 ).
