Material examined
New Brunswick, York Co., Fredericton, at St. John River, 45.9588°N, 66.6254°W, 7.VI.2005, R.P. Webster // River margin, in flood debris (1 ♀, RWC); Charters Settlement, 45.8395°N, 66.7391°W, 30.IV.2005, 5.VI.2007, 20.IX.2007, 30.VI.2008, R.P. Webster // Residential lawn, on soil at base of lawn grass (2 ♂, 7 sex undetermined, RWC).
Distribution in Canada and Alaska
ON, QC, NB (Bousquet et al. 2013[1]). This adventive species from the Palaearctic was first reported in North America from Montreal, QC by Frisch et al. (2002)[2], followed by additional records from ON reported by Brunke and Marshall (2011)[3].
Natural history
In the Palaearctic, Scopaeus minutus is usually found in early successional habitats (Boháč 1985[4]) and drier habitats than other members of this genus (Frisch et al. 2002[2]). Specimens from ON were caught in passive traps in soybean fields and woodlot edges (Brunke and Marshall 2011[3]). Most NB specimens were found on soil at the base of grass in a residential lawn. One individual was sifted from flood debris along a river margin.
