Gyrinus gehringi is newly recorded in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (Fig. 9). Robert (1955) indicated that it preferred eutrophic habitats and Morrissette (1979) reported it from glacial lakes. The distribution map for this species in Oygur and Wolfe (1991, 66) appears to indicate a location in northeastern New Brunswick, however, neither Oygur and Wolfe (1991) nor Roughley (1991) report it from that province.
