Gabrius ulpius Smetana, 1995 Map 39

Material examined.

New Brunswick, Restigouche Co., Little Tobique River near Red Brook, 47.4462°N, 67.0689°W, 24.V.2007, R. P. Webster, old growth eastern white cedar forest, in moss and leaf litter near brook (1 ♂, RWC).

Collection and habitat data.

This species has been collected most frequently from deciduous forest habitats and has been collected from forest floor debris (moist deep leaf litter layers), in moss on rocks, in old mushrooms, and in rotten wood ( Smetana 1995). The single New Brunswick specimen was sifted from moss and leaf litter adjacent to a brook in an old-growth eastern white cedar forest.

Distribution in Canada and Alaska.

ON, QC, NB, NS ( Smetana 1995). It is apparent from the above record that Gabrius ulpius is probably more continuously distributed in the Maritime provinces than was suggested by Majka et al. (2009).
