The earlier records from Ontario are in eastern Ontario and in Québec along the border with Ontario. Our new records extend its range in Ontario north by 500 km. These were not unexpected. Blethisa julii was collected from Churchill, Manitoba (Lindroth 1961), demonstrating that it can occur at northern latitudes. Lindroth (1961) noted that this species generally inhabits areas on the edges of ponds. The record from Akimiski Island represents the first record of B. julii in Nunavut.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EF3F76B831FFA62D6DFBA85B355C59	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It was previously recorded from northern Alberta, Labrador, Northwest Territories, and Alaska (Fig. 2c). Lindroth (1961) noted that records from Hudson Bay could not be located, thus it is unknown if the specimens were from the coast of Québec, Ontario, or Manitoba. However, it has been collected in Churchill, Manitoba (www.gbif.org/ species/4473311). Our record is the first for the territory of Nunavut (Fig. 2c). Diacheila arctica occurs in habitats similar to those of other species in Elaphrinae, occurring at the margins of ponds, lakes, and streams in boreal forest.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EF3F76B831FFA62F7EFC735E3F5F62	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is widely distributed across Ontario, ranging from southwestern Ontario to the northern coast of Hudson Bay at Fort Severn (Fig. 2d). Elaphrus americanus was previously collected in Attawapiskat, Ontario, which is approximately 25 km west of Akimiski Island (Lindroth 1961; Goulet 1983; www.gbif.org/species/1035545). The three new Ontario records presented in this article were not unexpected and fill in distribution gaps (Fig. 2d).

Elaphrus americanus is generally found along wet beaches of organic, coarse, and firm soil (Goulet 1983).</p> <p>Elaphrus americanus has two coloration forms, copper and green, and Goulet (1983) noted intermediate colorations occur as well. The specimens that we collected in this study exhibited green, copper, and intermediate coloration forms (Fig. 3).</p> <p>Elaphrus californicus Mannerheim Elaphrus californicus is widely distributed across North America. Lindroth (1961) notes it generally has a slightly more southern distribution than E. americanus, with its southern limit unknown. Elaphrus californicus has been collected from Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Northwest Territories, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Québec, and Saskatchewan (Fig. 2e) (Bousquet 2012). The locations in Ontario are somewhat restricted to southern Ontario and along the northern shore of Lake Superior (Lindroth 1961; Goulet 1983; www.gbif.org/species/ 1035546). As well, it has been found around Winnipeg and as far north as 50°42 ʹ N in Manitoba. The new record presented here extends the range of E. californicus north by approximately 300 km in Ontario (Fig. 2e). Elaphrus californicus, similar to E. americanus, is exclusively found on beaches of sand, silt, and clay that experience little wind and wave disturbance (Goulet 1983). Our specimens exhibit the gray-green color form, with blue-green punctures and purple near the center of the elytral pits.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EF3F76B831FFA02F7EFAC65AFD5E3B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is found in Ontario’ s Far North region in Moosonee, Ontario and on the Arctic Ocean coast of the Northwest Territories, with records from all Canadian provinces and two territories (Northwest Territories and Yukon Territory) (Fig. 2g) (Bousquet 2012; www.gbif.org/ species/1035548). Adults prefer habitats of soft, wet organic mud with sedges, grasses, and trees (Goulet 1983). Our record is not unexpected as Akimiski Island has many of the habitat features that are preferred by E. clairvillei and typical of northern localities in Canada. Elaphrus clairvillei exhibits body color variation of black, very dark green, and dark green of both brilliant and dull colorations (Goulet 1983). Specimens from Akimiski Island are of the very dark green coloration.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EF3F76B837FFA32F6EFD155BF55B4A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The majority of records occur on the western half of North America (from Manitoba west to the Pacific coast), with Goulet (1983) noting a single record in Moosonee, Ontario (www.gbif.org/species/1035550). However, Bousquet (2012) reports records from Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Ontario, Québec, and Saskatchewan. Our record is the first for E. lecontei in Nunavut and extends the known range of E. lecontei north by approximately 200 km in eastern North America (Fig. 2f). Adults of E. lecontei are found in sheltered areas on sunexposed alkaline beaches of lakes, marshes, and creeks. The species exhibits two color forms, green and copper (Goulet 1983). The specimens we collected from Akimiski Island were of both color forms.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EF3F76B837FFA02F6BFF33592958D4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Lindroth (1961) recorded E. fuliginosus from southern and eastern Ontario. This species is generally distributed below 50° north latitude in beach habitats where there is little vegetation and wet sandy soil (Goulet 1983). Here we report the first territorial records from Nunavut (Fig. 2h).</p> <p>Six Blethisa species are known to occur in North America; three have previously been collected in Ontario’ s Far North (Lindroth 1961). In our study, we found two species, B. julii and B. quadricollis. We did not collect the third northern Ontario species, B. hudsonica, which is far more widespread across northern Canada (Lindroth 1961; Bousquet 2012).</p> <p>There are two species of Diacheila in North America, D. arctica and Diacheila polita (Falderman, 1835). Diacheila polita occurs exclusively in northwestern Canada and was not expected to be collected in Ontario’ s Far North. Diacheila arctica is an extremely northern species and is likely not often caught due to its short active period (Lindroth, 1961; Elias 1992; Bourassa and Wood 2011). As well, fossilized specimens of D. arctica are recorded from northeastern Labrador, Nova Scotia, Switzerland, northeastern France, and Poland in numerous studies, indicating that it once had a more extensive range (Elias 1982; Ponel 1995; Miller 1997; Kasse et al. 1999; Coope 2007).</p> <p>Of the 19 species of Elaphrus that have been recorded in North America, eight are known to occur in northern Ontario. We collected five Elaphrus species in our study, but did not collect Elaphrus lapponicus Gyllenhal, 1810, Elaphrus olivaceus LeConte, 1863, and Elaphrus trossulus Semenov, 1904.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EF3F76B834FFA32D51FEAE5B185FF4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
