New Staphylinidae (Coleoptera) records with new collection data from New Brunswick and eastern Canada: Tachyporinae

New records of rove beetles from the Province of Quebec, and additional provincial records in Canada (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)

We newly report 25 provincial records of rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) from the province of Quebec from the following subfamilies: Steninae (1), Euaesthetinae (1), Omaliinae (2), Oxyporinae (1), Paederinae (1), Proteininae (1), Pselaphinae (2), Scaphidiinae (2), Scydmaeninae (2), Staphylininae (11) and Tachyporinae (1). Among these, two species are also reported for the first time from Ontario, two from Nova Scotia, and five are new Canadian records. We also report the first supporting data for Suniusmelanocephalus (Fabricius, 1792) and Scopaeusminutus Erichson, 1840 for Quebec, and of Arpediumschwarzi Fauvel, 1878, Phyllodrepapunctiventris (Fauvel, 1878), and Sepedophilusbasalis (Erichson, 1839) for Ontario. Specimen data and diagnoses are provided for each species, as well as references for identification where available.

Further contributions to the staphylinid fauna of New Brunswick, Canada, and the USA, with descriptions of two new Proteinus species (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)

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: Proteinushughesi Webster & Davies, sp. n. and Proteinussweeneyi Webster & Klimaszewski, sp. n. (Proteininae). Sepedophilusimmaculatus (Stephens) and Carpelimuserichsoni (Sharp), Carpelimusmundus (Sharp) are newly recorded from North America. New Canadian records are as follows: Carpelimusdifficilis (Casey), Carpelimusgracilis (Mannerheim), Carpelimuslacustris (Notman), Carpelimusprobus (Casey), Carpelimuspusillus (Gravenhorst), Carpelimusrivularis (Motschulsky), Carpelimusspretus (Casey), Carpelimusweissi (Notman) (Oxytelinae), and Edaphuslederi Eppelsheim (Euaesthetinae). This is the first record of the genus Edaphus for Canada. Blediusbasalis LeConte and Carpelimusobesus (Kiesenwetter) (Oxytelinae) are removed from the faunal list of New Brunswick. Proteinusacadiensis Klimaszewski and Proteinuspseudothomasi 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.
