Caenoscelis basalis is newly recorded in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Atlantic Canada (Fig. 4). Previous records of this Holarctic species are from Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Québec (Bousquet 1991; Downie and Arnett 1996; Chandler 2001). Specimens in Nova Scotia were collected in red spruce forests, and in Newfoundland it was found in a balsam fir (Abies balsamaea (L.) Mill, Pinaceae) forest. Members of this genus are found in leaf litter, organic matter, nests of small mammals, and beneath the bark of logs (Bousquet 1989).
