Digby Co.: Beaver River, 16-23.VII.1993, J. Cook, coastline, pitfall trap, (1, JCC). PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: Queens Co.: Meadowbank, 27.V.1981, E.L. Drake, (1, UPEI).
Stenus erythropus is newly recorded on Prince Edward Island. Its distribution in Atlantic Canada is shown in Fig. 13. It was previously recorded from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (Campbell and Davies 1991). Stenus erythropus is not a species hitherto noted from coastal habitats, and indeed there are a number of specimen records in the Maritime Provinces from inland, non-marine situations (unpublished data). Like many species in this genus they are frequently encountered near streams or in other aquatic situations (Newton et al. 2000). As the above records indicate, in the Maritime Provinces they are occasionally found in coastal marshy and/or sand dune environments.
