Anisotoma inops is newly recorded from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia ( Fig. 8). It was listed as occurring in New Brunswick by Peck (1991). Adults have been found between May and September ( Wheeler 1979). In Nova Scotia, it was found almost exclusively in coniferous forests in red spruce, black spruce, hemlock, white pine, and balsam fir stands. Specimens were found in a decaying red maple log, in polypore fungi on a red spruce log, in polypore fungi on white birch and balsam fir, in decaying gill fungi, in Lycoperdon sp. fungi, in a decaying red spruce, and in an “orange ball mushroom.” In Newfoundland, it was found associated with decaying red pine.
