Phymatura blanchardi (Casey, 1894) Fig 31, Map 31 New Records. CANADA, New Brunswick, Queens Co., Grand Lake, near Scotchtown, 45.8762°N, 66.1816°W, 19.IX.2006 (4 ♁, 4 ♀, RWC). Sunbury Co., Portobello Creek NWA, 45.8990°N, 66.4200°W, 28.VI.2004 (1 ♁, RWC). Bionomic Notes. Adults were collected from inside a decayed log covered with gilled mushrooms and polypore fungi. One individual was collected from under loose bark. Some of the individuals collected in late September were teneral, suggesting that this species probably overwinters as an adult. Majka and Klimaszewski (2008b) mentioned that this species was associated with fungi. Adults Map 3Į. Collection localities in New Brunswick, Canada of Phymatura blanchardi. were collected in June and September. Collection method: sifting, hand searching subcortical habitat. Distribution in Canada and Alaska. AB, NB (Casey 1894; Ashe 1992; Majka and Klimaszewski 2008b). Phymatura blanchardi was recorded for the first time for Canada from a single specimen collected in Alberta (Lac La Biche) in a modified window trap (Majka and Klimaszewski 2008b). Th e presence of this species in New Brunswick suggests a much wider distribution in Canada.
