Collection and habitat data
In New Brunswick, adults of Gyrophaena caseyi were collected during August and September from fresh gilled mushrooms and Pleurotus sp. on the side of a log. This species was found in a hardwood forest, a mixed forest, and a black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.), balsam fir, and eastern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) forest.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska
. QC, NB (Klimaszewski et al. 2009b[1]).
Comment
Gyrophaena caseyi and Gyrophaena nanoides Seevers are very similar to each other externally and have similar genitalia. These two species were confused by Klimaszewski et al. (2009b)[1], and specimens recorded from New Brunswick as Gyrophaena caseyi were Gyrophaena nanoides. This error and differences between these two species were pointed out by Klimaszewski et al. (2011)[2]. Specimens of Gyrophaena caseyi were found in New Brunswick since the publication of Klimaszewski et al. (2009b)[1], and these represent a new provincial record. Collection data, habitat notes, and distributional maps are presented for both species.
