Leptacinus intermedius Donisthorpe, 1936

NEW BRUNSWICK: York Co.: Charters Settlement, 45.8395 N, 66.7391 W, 26.IX.2005, 2.V.2004, 16.X.2004 (2 specimens), 21.IV.2004, 16.IX.2005, 27.VIII.2005, R.P. Webster, in well-decayed compost, (7, RWC).

Majka and Klimaszewski (2008) removed this species from the New Brunswick faunal list, based on a misidentified specimen reported in Majka and Ogden (2006). However, the above records of R.P. Webster establish the presence of L. intermedius in the province (Fig. 5). Consequently, L. intermedius is reinstated to the faunal list of New Brunswick. Th e earliest North American specimens are from 1903 in Québec (Smetana 1982). Widely distributed in Europe and found in North Africa and Turkey (Herman 2001; Smetana 2004b), it has been recorded in a wide variety of decompositional environments including dung, compost, and decaying vegetable matter (Smetana 1982).
