Collection and habitat data
In New Brunswick, Tachyusa americanoides was collected from grassy debris near the overflow area of a beaver dam, from among sticks, debris, and clay on a beaver dam, from debris on muddy soil along a slow-flowing river in a silver maple swamp, from debris along the margin of a rocky river, and from debris on muddy soil near a small pool in a silver maple forest. Adults were collected during May, June, and July.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska
NT, BC, AB, MB, ON, NB, NS, NL (Paśnik 2006[1]; Gouix and Klimaszewski 2007[2]; Klimaszewski et al. 2011[3]). Tachyusa americanoides was recorded by Klimaszewski et al. (2011)[3] from NB without specifying locality data. We record this species here from NB for the first time with locality data and habitat information.
