“…Bledius basalis was reported by Majka et al (2008) from Jemseg, NB from moist bare clay in a silver maple forest 70 km inland from the Bay of Fundy. Majka considered this location unusual as this species is typically associated with slightly vegetated sand flats adjacent to the ocean (Herman 1976).…”

This paper treats the discovery of new species and new records of Staphylinidae from the subfamilies Omaliinae, Proteininae, Tachyporinae, Oxytelinae, Scydmaeninae, Steninae, Euaesthetinae, Pseudopsinae, Paederinae, and Staphylininae for the province of New Brunswick and other provinces of Canada, and the USA. We report here two species new to science, three new North American records, nine new Canadian records, two new USA records, and 50 new provincial records. The following are the species new to science: Proteinus hughesi Webster & Davies, sp. n. and Proteinus sweeneyi Webster & Klimaszewski, sp. n. (Proteininae). Sepedophilus immaculatus (Stephens) and Carpelimus erichsoni (Sharp), Carpelimus mundus (Sharp) are newly recorded from North America. New Canadian records are as follows: Carpelimus difficilis (Casey), Carpelimus gracilis (Mannerheim), Carpelimus lacustris (Notman), Carpelimus probus (Casey), Carpelimus pusillus (Gravenhorst), Carpelimus rivularis (Motschulsky), Carpelimus spretus (Casey), Carpelimus weissi (Notman) (Oxytelinae), and Edaphus lederi Eppelsheim (Euaesthetinae). This is the first record of the genus Edaphus for Canada. Bledius basalis LeConte and Carpelimus obesus (Kiesenwetter) (Oxytelinae) are removed from the faunal list of New Brunswick. Proteinus acadiensis Klimaszewski and Proteinus pseudothomasi Klimaszewski are newly recorded from the USA and several provinces of Canada. Habitat data from New Brunswick are provided for most of the species treated in this contribution.

Atheta novaescotiae was fi rst reported as new to New Brunswick by Majka and Klimaszewski (2008b) and Majka and Klimaszewski (2008c) Bionomic Notes. Atheta prudhoensis was typically found in decaying gilled mushrooms in mixed forests in New Brunswick.…”

Th e sixty-two species of precinctive (reported from the state and from nowhere else) beetles known from Rhode Island, and originally described by Th omas L. Casey, are reviewed. Th ese 62 are reduced to 12 potential candidates, with a further 12 unrevised species awaiting investigation. In terms of the Rhode Island Coleoptera fauna, the present re-evaluation decreases the number of beetles known from the state by 12 to 2,243 species. Th is information is briefl y presented in the context of T.L. Casey's contribution to our knowledge of the North American (and specifi cally Rhode Island) beetle fauna and the strengths and weaknesses of his taxonomic approach. Th e utility of distributional checklists, such as the one of the Rhode Island beetle fauna, are discussed. Th e resolution of taxonomic problems is of central importance to many spheres of biological investigation and accurate distributional checklists are vital in this process. Such checklists are useful in the context of determining biodiversity and environmental monitoring and for many practical purposes such as assisting in identifi cation and highlighting gaps in distribution. Furthermore, data from such checklists also have utility in a variety of zoogeographic investigations, such as contributing to an understanding of latitudinal gradients in species diversity and the geographic basis for proportionate faunal composition. All these are compelling arguments for developing and maintaining such resources.
