Wright, un- der red oak, pitfall trap (1, NSMC ). Zyras obliquus is newly recorded in Nova Scotia . In Canada it has been previously recorded from British Columbia east to New Brunswick ( Klimaszewski et al. 2005b ; Webster et al. 2009 ). In British Columbia this species was found in various coniferous and mixed forests ( Klimaszewski et al. 2005b ). Note: this species was reported from Nova Scotia by Kehler et al. (1996) [as Zyras haworthi (Stephens) ] without, however, supplying collection data. In a subsequent examination of this collection by Majka and Bondrup-Nielsen (2006) , no voucher specimens of this species were found, rendering the authenticity of the original record moot.
