Catops gratiosus was reported from mainland Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island by Peck and Cook (2002) (Fig 10). It is an infrequently collected species. Most of the collections in the southeastern United States are from caves. Specimens collected from northern or upper elevation areas are from deciduous forests and, in smaller numbers, from coniferous forests and old fields where they are found on carrion, decaying fungi, and on mammal dung (Peck and Cook 2002). : Published as part of Majka, Christopher & Langor, David, 2008, The Leiodidae (Coleoptera) of Atlantic Canada: new records, faunal composition, and zoogeography, pp. 357-402 in ZooKeys 2 (2) on page 390, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.2.56, http://zenodo.org/record/576397 : {"references": ["Peck SB, Cook J (2002) Systematics, distributions, and bionomics of the small carrion beetles (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Cholevinae: Cholevini) of North America.
