This paper treats 134 new records of Coleoptera for the province of New Brunswick, Canada from the following 41 families: Gyrinidae, Carabidae, Dytiscidae, Histeridae, Leiodidae, Scarabaeidae, Scirtidae, Buprestidae, Elmidae, Limnichidae, Heteroceridae, Ptilodactylidae, Eucnemidae, Throscidae, Elateridae, Lampyridae, Cantharidae, Dermestidae, Bostrichidae, Ptinidae, Cleridae, Melyridae, Monotomidae, Cryptophagidae, Silvanidae, Laemophloeidae, Nitidulidae, Endomychidae, Coccinellidae, Corylophidae, Latridiidae, Tetratomidae, Melandryidae, Mordellidae, Tenebrionidae, Mycteridae, Pyrochroidae, Aderidae, Scraptiidae, Megalopodidae, and Chrysomelidae. Among these, the following four species are newly recorded from Canada: Dirrhagofarsus ernae Otto, Muona & McClarin (Eucnemidae), Athous equestris (LeConte) (Elateridae), Ernobius opicus Fall (Ptinidae), and Stelidota coenosa Erichson (Nitidulidae). The Family Limnichidae is newly reported for New Brunswick, and one species is added to the fauna of Nova Scotia. Stephostethus productus Rosenhauer (Latridiidae), Tetratoma (Abstrulia) variegata Casey (Tetratomidae), and Chauliognathus marginatus (Fabricius) (Cantharidae) are removed from the faunal list of New Brunswick, and additional records of Lacconotus punctatus LeConte (Mycteridae) are presented and discussed. Lindgren funnel traps provided specimens for 104 (78%) of the species and were the sole source of specimens for 89 (66%) of the species reported here, suggesting they are a very useful tool for sampling Coleoptera fauna in the forests of New Brunswick.

“…This beetle species was observed denning in large numbers within the fissures in the twilight zone and in association with Leiobunum townsendii. Most leiodid beetles are habitat generalists and feed as both adults and larvae on certain fungi or microorganisms associated with decaying organic matter (e.g., Majka and Langor 2008). We suggest these beetles may have a commensal relationship with harvestmen (opilionid spiders) and may feed on fungi growing on spiders' feces.…”

“…Information regarding the ecology of individual taxa was compiled from habitat records and descriptions in the literature (Anderson and Peck 1985, Arnett and Thomas 2001, Arnett et al 2002, Askevold 1991, Ball 1966, Bousquet 1990, Bousquet et al 2013, Campbell 1973, Campbell 1978, Campbell 1982, Campbell 1983, Campbell 1984, Campbell 1991, Collet 2008, Elias 1992, Erwin 2007, Gordon 1985, Gusarov 2004, Hicks 1959, Horn 1880, Klimaszewski et al 2011, Klimaszewski et al 2008, Klimaszewski et al 2016, Larochelle and Larivière 2003, Larson et al 2000, Lindroth 1961, Lindroth 1963b, Lindroth 1966, Lindroth 1968, Lohse et al 1990, Majka and Langor 2008, Majka and Langor 2011, Matthews 1983, O'Brien 1970, Ratcliffe 1996, Shavrin 2016, Sikes et al 2016, Smetana 1971). This was then used to classify these taxa into broad habitat categories, as is customary in archaeo-entomological studies (Buckland 2009, Kenward 2009).…”

A survey of beetles (Coleoptera) from the tundra surrounding the Nunalleq archaeological site, Quinhagak, southwestern Alaska

This paper presents the results of a survey of beetles conducted in the vicinity of the archaeological site of Nunalleq, a pre-contact (16th-17th century AD) indigenous forager settlement located near the modern Yup’ik village of Quinhagak, in the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta, southwestern Alaska. Records and habitat data are reported for 74 beetle taxa collected in tundra, riparian, aquatic and anthropogenic environments from a region of Alaska that has been poorly studied by entomologists. This includes the first mainland Alaskan record for the byrrhid Simplocaria metallica (Sturm). Beyond improving our knowledge of the local beetle fauna’s diversity and ecology, this survey provides the basis for comparisons between modern and sub-fossil beetle assemblages from Nunalleq and Quinhagak.
