Telmatophilus americanus is newly recorded in insular Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (Fig. 1). It has previously been recorded in Canada from British Columbia to Québec, south to Colorado, Indiana, and New York in the United States (Bousquet 1991; Downie and Arnett 1996). It is found on the flowers of Sparganium spp. (Sparganiaceae) (Hatch 1961; Leshen and Skelley 2002). Blatchley (1910) also reported it from arrow arum ( Peltandra virginica L., Araceae). Both Sparganium fluctuans (Morong) B.L. Robins and S. angustifolium Michx. (Sparganiaceae) occur in the area of the Oxen Pond Botanical Park where T. americanus was collected in Newfoundland (Todd Boland, pers. comm.). : Published as part of Majka, Christopher & Langor, David, 2010, Contributions towards an understanding of the Cryptophaginae (Coleoptera, Cryptophagidae) of Atlantic Canada, pp. 13-35 in ZooKeys 35 (35) on pages 28-29, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.35.314, http://zenodo.org/record/576615 : {"references": ["Bousquet Y (1991) Family Cryptophagidae: silken fungus beetles.
