| Summary: | Cryptophagus mainensis Casey, 1924 NEWFOUNDLAND: Steady Brook, July 10, 1949, E. Palmen (2, MZHF). NOVA SCOTIA: Cumberland Co.: Westchester-Londonderry, August 22, 1992, S. & J. Peck, forest road, car netting (1, JCC); Hants Co.: Panuke Lake, 16–29 July, 1997, D.J. Bishop, red spruce/eastern hemlock (old growth), FIT (1, NSMC); Panuke Lake, 29 July-13 Aug, 1997, D.J. Bishop, red spruce (45 years), FIT (1, NSMC); Panuke Lake, 29 July-13 Aug, 1997, D.J. Bishop, red spruce (45 years), FIT (1, NSMC). Cryptophagus mainensis is newly recorded in insular Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Canada as a whole (Fig. 3). This is a Nearctic species previously known only from Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Ohio (Woodroffe and Coombs 1961; Chandler 2001). In Nova Scotia specimens were collected in red spruce ( Picea rubens Sarg., Pinaceae) and mixed eastern hemlock ( Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr., Pinaceae) and red spruce forests varying in age from old growth (120+ years) to 45 years. This is the first habitat information about this species. It is a very distinctive species on account of its small size (1.5–1.7 mm.) and very large pronotal callosities which subtend 1/3 of the lateral margin of the pronotum. : 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 page 25, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.35.314, http://zenodo.org/record/576615 : {"references": ["Woodroffe GE, Coombs CW (1961) A revision of the North American Cryptophagus Herbst (Coleoptera: Cryptophagidae).
