Gnypeta caerulea, hitherto regarded as an adventive Palaearctic species, was newly recorded in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the Maritime Provinces as a whole by Majka and Klimaszewski (2008). Subsequently Klimaszewski et al. (2008b) have reviewed the genus Gnypeta in Canada, Alaska, and Greenland and concluded that G. caerulea represents a Holarctic species. Consequently, it is removed from the list of adventive species of the Maritime Provinces.
