NOVA SCOTIA: Lunenburg Co.: Colpton Provincial Park, 17.VIII.1994, J. Ogden (1, NSNR).
Gyrinus lecontei is newly recorded in Nova Scotia. It was recorded from New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island by Oygur and Wolfe (1991) and Roughley (1991), and from Prince Edward Island by Majka (2009) (Fig. 10). Morrissette (1979) reported it from small deep ponds and lakes invaded by aquatic plants. Oygur and Wolfe (1991) reported it primarily (80%) from lentic habitats.
