Collection and habitat data. This species has been reported mostly from around human settlements in various kinds of debris and under stones ( Smetana (1971a) . Adults have also been found in natural habitats in moss and leaf litter ( Smetana 1971a , 1978). In New Brunswick, adults were collected in natural habitats (river margin in litter, in moist leaf litter and moss on vernal pond margin in a hardwood forest) and in synanthropic situations (in compost and pile of decaying corncobs and cornhusks near a home). Adults were collected in April, May, June, August, and September. Distribution in Canada and Alaska. BC, ON, NB, NS ( Smetana 1971a ; Majka and Smetana 2007 ; Brunke and Marshall 2011 ). This adventive species was first reported from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (and eastern North America) by Majka and Smetana (2007) . An earlier record (Truro, 1984) from Nova Scotia was later reported by Majka and Klimaszewski (2008a) . The record from New Brunswick was based on a specimen collected by CG Majka at Mary's Point in 2002. Map 19. Collection localities in New Brunswick, Canada of Quedius curtipennis .
