Family Henicopidae

Lamyctes emarginatus (Newport). Early Canadian records of this Palaearctic species from Ontario ( Crabill 1952) and Newfoundland ( Palmén 1954) were published under the synonym Lamyctes fulvicornis Meinert. Mercurio (2010) did not list it from the Northwest Territories, but Behan-Pelletier (1993) did. The species was also recorded from Alaska by Mercurio (2010), so undoubtedly it is in the Yukon, too. Kevan and Scudder (1989) reported this species, as L. fulvicornis , from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and from Kamloops and Burnaby Mountain, British Columbia. The species is clearly widely distributed throughout Canada. In Newfoundland, it is frequently found in natural habitats far from human habitation ( Palmén 1954).

Zygethobius columbiensis Chamberlin. This native species was described from a single female collected near Kaslo, British Columbia and was unknown from any other jurisdiction until reported from Wagner Bog, near Edmonton, Alberta ( Kevan and Scudder 1989). However, the Alberta specimens do not exactly fit the description, so some uncertainty remains about the determination. It is unknown who determined the material and where the specimens reside. They do not reside at the Royal Alberta Museum (Edmonton, Alberta), which coordinated the extensive sampling of the Wagner Bog in the late 1980s and was possibly the source of this record.
