NEW BRUNSWICK: Saint John Co. : Saint John, 20.VI.1898, P.R. McIntosh, (1, NBM); Saint John, VI.190?, W. McIntosh, (3, NBM); Westmorland Co.: Moncton, 15.X.1982, L. Dorion, (1, UMNB). NOVA SCOTIA : Two hundred and eighty-two specimens were examined from Annapolis, Antigonish, Colchester, Cumberland, Guysborough, Halifax, Inverness, Kings, Lunenburg, Queens, Victoria, and Yarmouth counties. The earliest record is from 1961 ( Kings Co.: Kentville, 28.V.1961, D.H. Webster, on dead fox, (1, DHWC)). PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: locality information lost, 1974-1983, collector information lost, (1, UPEI). Sciodrepoides terminans is newly recorded from Prince Edward Island. It was reported by Peck and Cook (2002) from Labrador, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Cape Breton Island (Fig. 12). It has mostly been collected in forested habitats but also in open shrub and grassland sites, in riverside forests, and grassland. It is found primarily on mammal carrion, but also on decaying fish and fungi and in mammal and bird nests (Peck and Cook 2002). Majka et al. (2006) reported it from a Boreal Owl [ Aegolius acadicus acadicus (Gmelin)] nest in Nova Scotia. In Nova Scotia, it was collected on carrion in deciduous, coniferous, and mixed forests.
