Description

Neobisnius villosulus (Stephens, 1833)

NEW BRUNSWICK: Carleton Co.: Bell Forest Nature Preserve, 46.2152 N, 67.7190 W, 1.VI.2005, M.-A. Giguere and R.P. Webster, upper river margin, collected while in flight on warm afternoon, (1, RWC); Two mile Brook Fen N of Lakeville, 46.3594 N, 67.6800 W, 2.VI.2005, R.P. Webster, near cedar swamp, in flight late afternoon, (1, RWC); York Co.: Charters Settlement, 45.8395 N, 66.7391 W, 1.VIII.2007, R.P. Webster, collected at M.V. light, (1, RWC); Keswick River at Rte 105, 45.9943 N, 66.8337 W, 18.VI.2004, R.P. Webster, silver maple forest under debris on muddy soil near small pool, (1, RWC).

Majka and Klimaszewski (2008) reported this species in New Brunswick on the basis of a specimen collected in Hartland by R.P. Webster. This identification was in error and was based on a specimen of Stictolinus flavipes Donisthorpe. However, the above specimens collected by R.P. Webster establish the presence of N. villosulus in New Brunswick (Fig. 5). Th e earliest North American records are from 1860 in Québec (Bain 1999). It is widely distributed in Europe east to Russia, the Ukraine, and the Caucasus (Herman 2001; Smetana 2004b). It is found mainly in moist habitats including the margins of rivers, marshes, and lakes (Newton et al. 2000).
