Dineutus hornii is newly recorded on Prince Edward Island. Species of Dineutus are found on the surface ponds, streams, lakes and rivers where they often form large rafts of individuals ( Roughley 2000a).

Roberts (1895, pp 284) described this species as Dineutus hornii , the specific epithet spelled with two “i’s”. Subsequently some authors (i.e. Leng 1920; Roughley 1991b; Laplante et al. 1991; Dearborn and Donahue 1993; Downie and Arnett 1996; Chandler 2001) dropped the second “i”, incorrectly spelling the name “ Dineutus horni ”. Accordingly the name Dineutus horni is designated as an incorrect subsequent spelling of Dineutus hornii Roberts, 1895 (Article 33.3, ICZN 1999).
