Schendyla nemorensis (Koch) . This species is native to Europe and is adventive in North America. In Canada, it was reported from two localities in southeastern Newfoundland by Palmén (1954), based on four specimens collected in 1949. There are specimens in the Canadian National Collection of Insects , Arachnids, and Nematodes that were collected in Ancaster, Ontario by J. Martin in 1963 and 1967 (accession numbers CNC 627317 and CNC 627316 , respectively) and identified by Pereira in 1988 (determination label) that represent a new provincial record .
