Description

Pediacus fuscus Erichson, 1845

This Holarctic species was recorded from both New Brunswick and Labrador by Bousquet (1991) (Fig. 2). In the Old World the species is found in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Sweden, northern Russia, and Siberia (Slipinski 2007). In North America they have been recorded from Alaska, the Northwest Territories and British Columbia east across Canada to Labrador and in the United States from Colorado, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin (Thomas 2004). Species in the genus Pediacus are predominantly found under the bark of dead conifers (Th omas 2004). In Latvia several specimens were collected under the bark of Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L., Pinaceae) (Telnov et al. 2007; D. Telnov pers. comm.).
