Several adults were collected from among corncobs and cornhusks on the margin of a mixed forest. Several adults were collected early in the spring (April) during their dispersal flights using an aerial net. Elsewhere this species has been recorded from leaf litter, river debris, and pocket gopher (<i>Geomys</i> sp.) burrows (Gusarov 2002b). Adults were collected in April, May, June, July, August, and September. Collection method: sifting, some collected with net during evening flight. <b>Map 49.</b> Collection localities in New Brunswick, Canada of <i>Earota dentata</i>. <b>Distribution in Canada and Alaska.</b> AK, YT, BC, AB, MB, ON, QC, NB, NS (Gusarov 2002b; Klimaszewski and Winchester 2002; Klimaszewski et al. 2007b; Gouix and Klimaszewski 2007; Majka and Klimaszewski 2008b; Klimaszewski et al. 2008b). This transcontinental species was first recorded from New Brunswick in Klimaszewski et al. (2005) from the Acadia Research Forest (Sunbury Co.), although it was not noted as being new to the province.
