Leiodes assimilis was recorded from New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Labrador, and Nova Scotia by Baranowski (1993) (Fig. 4). It is found in open country and forests, especially relatively open deciduous forests, and is a good flyer (Baranowski 1993). In Nova Scotia, it is found in both coniferous and mixed coastal forests. Of particular note is an isolated population on Sable Island that occurs in sand-dune environments (Howden 1970). : 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 pages 371-372, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.2.56, http://zenodo.org/record/576397 : {"references": ["Baranowski R (1993) Revision of the genus Leiodes Latreille of North and Central America (Coleoptera: Leiodidae).
