Henotiderus centromaculatus
Reitter, 1877
Henotiderus centromaculatus
was recorded from
Nova Scotia
by
Bousquet (1991)
(as
H. obesulus
)
. There are scattered records from the central part of mainland
Nova Scotia
(Fig. 2). This Nearctic species has been recorded from Alaska and across
Canada
from the
Northwest Territories
east to
Nova Scotia
, and in New Hampshire and New York (
Bousquet 1991
;
Downie and Arnett 1996
;
Chandler 2001
). It is also found in the Eastern Palaearctic in
China
,
Japan
, and the Russian Far East (
Johnson et al. 2007
). Species of
Henotiderus
are found in leaf litter or associated with polypore fungi such as
Polyporus
,
Pleurotus
, and
Fomes
in forested habitats (
Bousquet 1989
). All the specimens collected in
Nova Scotia
were found in red spruce forests, varying in age from young to old growth, except for one specimen collected in a mixed red spruce-eastern hemlock forest (unpublished data).
