Comments.

This adventive species was accidentally listed as occurring in Ontario in Klimaszewski et al. (2007a) and was subsequently included as occurring there in other accounts of adventive Aleocharinae ( Gouix and Klimaszewski 2007; Klimaszewski et al. 2010). The above data represent the first confirmed records of this species in Ontario, as early as 1925.
