Description
Summary:Pytho niger Kirby, 1837 NEW BRUNSWICK: Saint John Co.: Saint John, 10 June 1900, W. McIntosh, NBM. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: Prince Co.: 22 April 1980, L. Corbin, DKYC. Newly recorded in New Brunswick: scattered distribution in the Maritime Provinces (Fig. 2). The specimen from Prince Edward Island was reported by Pollock (1991) but was not included in Campbell’s (1991c) compilation; consequently it seems worthwhile to direct attention to the record. Found across the northern portion of North America from Alaska east to Labrador and Nova Scotia, south to Massachusetts, New York, Wisconsin, and Minnesota (Pollock 1991). Species of Pytho live under the bark of trees with a narrow range of decay (dead 4–10 years). Known hosts include Pinus strobus L., P. banksiana Lamb., P. contorta Dougl., Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P, and Abies balsamea (L.) Mill (Pinaceae) (Pollock 1991). ... : Published as part of Majka, Christopher G., 2006, The Mycteridae, Boridae, Pythidae, Pyrochroidae, and Salpingidae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea) of the Maritime Provinces of Canada, pp. 37-51 in Zootaxa 1250 on page 41, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.172996 ...
