Alderson & V. Webster // Mixed forest with Quercus rubra , Lindgren funnel trap 1 m high under Quercus rubra (1 ♂, AFC). Distribution in Canada and Alaska. NB, NS ( Bousquet et al. 2013 ). This Palaearctic species was first reported in North America by LeConte (1877) , but this was a misidentification of Carpelimus pusillus (q. v.); Ulke (1902) recorded Carpelimus subtilis from DC, and Bernhauer and Schubert (1911) listed it from PA and RI, the type locality of Casey's synonym, Carpelimus indigens . Natural history. Casey (1889) reported Carpelimus indigens as gregarious, on the underside of a stone in the damp bottom of a partially dry ditch. Most NB specimens were sifted from leaf and grass litter on mud/clay soil near a river margin in a silver maple swamp. Two specimens were captured in Lindgren funnel traps in an old-growth northern hardwood forest and a mixed forest. Adults were collected during April, May, and June.
