Description

Gyrinus confinis LeConte, 1868

Gyrinus confinis was reported from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia by Roughley (1991) and from Prince Edward Island by Majka (2008) (Fig. 9). Although Morrissette (1979) reported it from running water, Oygur and Wolfe (1991) reported that 99% of specimens came from lentic habitats.
