Gusarov (
2001
-2003) reported this species from
New Brunswick
and
Majka and Klimaszewski (2008)
reported it from
Nova Scotia
and
Prince Edward Island
. Its distribution in the Maritime Provinces is shown in
Majka and Klimaszewski (2008)
. Most of the specimens collected in Atlantic
Canada
are from agricultural fields, however, there are some records (above) from coastal habitats.
Hammond (2000)
includes it as a generalist species found in the upper levels of salt marshes in
Great Britain
.
