Philonthus hepaticus (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) in eastern Canada: are distribution gaps distinctive features or collecting artifacts?

Philonthus hepaticus Erichson is reported for the first time in eastern Canada, and for only the second time in Canada, from a specimen collected in New Brunswick. This discovery provides an opportunity to examine apparent distribution gaps in the range of some rove beetles found in the Maritime Pro...
