Adults were located by turning over cobblestones or larger pebbles. Nothing was previously known about the habitat association of this species. In New Brunswick, adults were collected during June and August. Collection method: hand collecting (turning over cobblestones and pebbles). <b>Distribution in Canada and Alaska.</b> ON, <b>NB</b>, NS (Klimaszewski 1982; Gouix and Klimaszewski 2007). <b>Tribe Homalotini Heer, 1839</b> <b> <i>Euvira micmac</i> Klimaszewski &amp; Majka, 2007</b> Fig 28, Map 28 <b>New Records.</b> <b>CANADA, New Brunswick, York Co.</b> Charters Settlement, 45.8430°N, 66.7275°W, 11.VII.2005 (1 ♁, RWC); Charters Settlement, 45.8342°N, 66.7450°W, 21.IV.2006 (1 &amp;female;, RWC). <b>Map 28.</b> Collection localities in New Brunswick, Canada of <i>Euvira micmac</i>. <b>Bionomic Notes.</b> One adult was collected by beating foliage in a regenerating mixed forest (about 15 years old) with a few red oaks (<i>Quercus rubra</i> L.) in July and another was collected in April from moist leaf litter on the margin of a vernal pond in a mixed forest. In Nova Scotia, five individuals of <i>E. micmac</i> were found inside spherical galls on red oak. Other individuals were collected in areas with red oak. However, it is unclear if this species is an obligate resident of oak galls. Collection method: beating foliage, sifting. <b>Distribution in Canada and Alaska.</b> NS, <b>NB</b> (Klimaszewski and Majka 2007; Gouix and Klimaszewski 2007).
