Description

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in age from young to old growth, except for one specimen collected in a mixed red spruce-eastern hemlock forest (unpublished data).
