Summary: | Sciodrepoides watsoni (Spence, 1815) NEWFOUNDLAND: Western Brook Pond, Gros Morne National Park, 15-17. VIII.1969, M.J.D. Brendell, secondary forest, (6, BMNH). This Holarctic species was reported by Peck and Cook (2002) from Newfoundland and New Brunswick (Fig. 12). The source of the New Brunswick record (from the Charlotte County area) could not be determined (S. Peck, pers. comm.), nor were vouchers specimens found in any collection consulted. Consequently it is removed from the New Brunswick faunal list. Its status in Newfoundland should also be further investigated since there are no records in the province apart from the specimens listed above. Sciodrepoides watsoni has primarily been collected in forested habitats but it is also tolerant of open old fields and grasslands where it is found on carrion and in mammal nests (Peck and Cook 2002).
