Tachinus frigidus Erichson, 1840 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Material examined
Additional New Brunswick records, Albert Co., Shepody N.W.A., Mary’s Point Section, 45.7260°N, 64.6640°W, 12.IX.2004, R. P. Webster, spruce forest, in decaying fleshy fungi (gilled mushroom) (1, RWC).
Collection and habitat data
Campbell (1973[1], 1988[2]) reported that most specimens of this northern transcontinental species were collected from under animal dung or decaying mushrooms. Adults were also collected from the mouth of animal burrows, in leaf litter and other kinds of decaying organic matter. In Alberta, Tachinus frigidus was considered to be a mature forest (conifer-dominated) specialist (Pohl et al. (2007)[3]. The only specimen from New Brunswick was collected from a decaying fleshy mushroom during September in a mature, coastal red spruce forest.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska
AK, YT, NT, BC, AB, MB, ON, QC, NB, NS, LB (Campbell 1973[1]). Tachinus frigidus was listed as occurring in New Brunswick by Majka et al. (2011)[4] without any supporting references or data. Here we provide the first documented records from New Brunswick.
