Webster // Margin field/hardwood forest, in litter in entrance to Marmota monaxburrow (1 ♀, RWC).  Natural history. This species has been found in entrances of fox ( Vulpessp.) and woodchuck ( Marmota monax(L.)) burrows in early spring (April to June) ( Klimaszewski 1984), and in caves ( Klimaszewski and Peck 1986). Adults were taken from moist soil and grass roots near the burrow entrances, and in carrion in caves. The two specimens from NB were found in similar burrow habitats during May.  Distribution in Canada and Alaska. MB, ON, QC, NB ( Klimaszewski 1984; Bousquet et al. 2013).  Figures 17-24. Aleochara (Echochara) ocularisKlimaszewski: 17 habitus in dorsal view 18 median lobe of aedeagus in dorsal view 19 median lobe of aedeagus in lateral view 20 male tergite VIII 21 male sternite VIII 22 female tergite VIII 23 female sternite VIII 24 spermatheca 19, 18, 24 modified from Klimaszewski (1984).
