This introduced Palearctic species is newly recorded in Nova Scotia ( Fig. 1 ). Bousquet (1991) reported it from New Brunswick . Species of Silvanus are found under the bark of logs and dead trees where they are at least partly fungivorous ( Thomas 1993 ). In Nova Scotia they have most frequently been found in coniferous forests, under the bark of red spruce ( Picea rubens Sarg. ) and white pine ( Pinus strobus L. ) ( Pinaceae ) and on maple ( Acer sp.).
