Abstract

Eleven species of Omaliinae are newly recorded from New Brunswick, bringing the total number of species known from the province to 32 described species. Supporting data are presented for the New Brunswick record of Geodromicus strictus (Fauvel) reported by Majka et al. (2011). Micropeplus browni Campbell, Micropeplus laticollis Mäklin (Micropeplinae), Charyhyphus picipennis (LeConte) (Phloeocharinae), Olisthaerus substriatus (Paykull) (Olisthaerinae), Habrocerus capillaricornis (Gravenhorst), Habrocerus magnus LeConte, and Habrocerus schwarzi Horn (Habrocerinae) are also newly recorded for New Brunswick. These are the first records of the latter four subfamilies from New Brunswick. Collection and bionomic data are presented for each species and discussed.

Summary

Introduction

This paper treats new records from New Brunswick of the family Staphylinidae from the subfamilies Omaliinae, Micropeplinae, Phloeocharinae, Olisthaerinae, and Ha-. Copyright Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada. Seventeen species of Omaliinae were reported from New Brunswick by Campbell and Davies (1991). Majka et al (2011) reported Geodromicus strictus (Fauvel) as occurring in New Brunswick but did not provide any supporting data for the record. We report another 11 species of Omalinae from New Brunswick, including supporting data for G. strictus. A brief synopsis of the subfamilies Micropeplinae, Phloeocharinae, Olisthaerinae, and Habrocerinae is presented with the respective species accounts below
