Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Cryptophagidae
Genus: Antherophagus
Name
Antherophagus convexulus LeConte, 1863 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Material examined
Additional New Brunswick records. Queens Co., Cranberry Lake P.N.A., 46.1125°N, 65.6075°W, 6.VIII.2009, M.-A. Giguère, mature red oak forest, on flowers of Spiraea alba (1, RWC).
Collection and habitat data
Adults of Antherophagus sp. are phoretic on Bombus spp. and are often found in their nests or on flowers (Bousquet 1989[1]; Leschen and Skelley 2002a[2]). The specimen of Antherophagus convexulus from New Brunswick was found on flowers of Spiraea alba DuRoi during early August.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska
ON, QC, NB, NS (Bousquet 1991b[3]). Majka and Langor (2010)[4] were unable to locate any voucher specimens or published records to support the record for New Brunswick in Bousquet (1991b)[3], but provisionally retained this species for the province. The record above confirms the presence of this species for New Brunswick.
