| Summary: | Aeletes politus (LeConte, 1853) Prince Edward Island: Queens Co.: Trout River, 28.VI.2003, C.G. Majka, brackish marsh, (1, CGMC). Aeletes politus is newly recorded on Prince Edward Island. There are scattered records from throughout the Maritime Provinces, although it has not been recorded on Cape Breton Island (Fig. 1). It is known in Canada from Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia (with an isolated record from westcentral Alberta), and occurs south to Florida in the United States. It is found in forest floor litter, log litter, bracket fungi, tree holes, and compost (Bousquet and Laplante 2006). The above record from a brackish marsh represents an unusual habitat for this species, possibly attracted to the site by accumulations of decomposing litter. : Published as part of Majka, Christopher, 2008, Contributions to the knowledge of Atlantic Canadian Histeridae (Coleoptera), pp. 189-202 in ZooKeys 2 (2) on page 191, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/576405 : {"references": ["Bousquet Y, Laplante S (2006) Coleoptera Histeridae: The Insects and Arachnids of Canada, part 24.
