Its distribution in Atlantic Canada is shown in Fig. 15. It is common in wrack and other debris on marine beaches (Newton et al. 2000). James et al. (1971) reported that <i>Cafius</i> species lay their eggs deep in sand where their larvae prey on amphipods, flies of the genus <i>Fucellia</i>, and small barnacles. Two abundant amphipods associated with Coleoptera in beach drift environments in the Maritime Provinces are <i>Talorchestia longicornis</i> (Say, 1818) in the upper littoral and splash zone, and <i>Orchestia gammarella</i> Pallas, 1766 in beach drift slightly lower down on the coastline (Klimaszewski and Majka 2006). <i>Tal- orchestia megalophthalma</i> (Bate, 1862), <i>O. platensis</i> Kroyer, 1845, and <i>O. grillus</i> (Bosc, 1802) are also present in the region (Gosner 1971).
