Range extension and fossil occurrences of Holoboreaphilus nordenskioeldi (Mäklin) (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) in North America

The staphylinid beetle Holoboreaphilus nordenskioeldi (Mäklin) has been recorded from both northeastern and northwestern North America. Two new collecting localities on the western shore of Hudson Bay are reported. The distribution of this species is discussed with reference to fossil occurrences in Late Pleistocene deposits in North America, and two possible postglacial recolonisation routes are postulated.
