Description
NEW BRUNSWICK: York Co.: New Maryland, 15.IV.2004, R.P. Webster, in compost in mixed forest area, (3, RWC).
Bisnius cephalotes is newly recorded from New Brunswick (Fig. 5), previously having been reported from the region from Nova Scotia (Smetana 1995; Majka and Klimaszewski 2008). In the Old World it is widely distributed across the Palaearctic region, south to North Africa and east through Siberia to northeastern China (Herman 2001; Smetana 2004b; Alonso-Zarazaga 2007). In North America, however most records are either from the northeast or the northwest (Smetana 2006). Th e earliest North American records are from 1860 in Québec (Bain 1999). Bisnius cephalotes is a synanthropic species frequently found in various decaying plant or animal material such as carrion, compost, and dung. It is also found in bird and rodent nests (Smetana 1995).
