Campbell and A. Davies, sifting moss, (3, CNC). Fig. 5. Distribution of Colenis impunctata , Liocyrtusa luggeri , Leiodes contaminabilis , Leiodes impersonata , Leiodes neglecta , Leiodes puncticollis , Leiodes rufipes , and Leiodes triepkei in Atlantic Canada. Although Leiodes impersonata was reported for Nova Scotia by Peck (1991) , it was not recorded from the province by Baranowski (1993) in his revision of the genus Leiodes . The above record establishes the presence of the species in Nova Scotia . It was recorded from New Brunswick by Baranowski (1993) ( Fig. 5 ). Most species of Leiodes are believed to feed on subterranean fungi. The identity of these fungi is unknown ( Baranowski 1993 ). It is found along small roads or trails in deciduous forests, especially with rather sandy (but not dry) soil and rich vegetation ( Baranowski 1993 ).
