The following records are based in part on specimens collected as part of a general survey by the first author to document the
Oxyporinaewere collected from mushrooms. Mushrooms were placed in a plastic box, broken into pieces, and the adults aspirated into a vial. A description of the habitat was recorded for all collections. Locality and habitat data are presented exactly as on labels for each record. This information, as well as additional collecting notes, is summarized in the collection and habitat data section for each species.
A few examples of male specimens were dissected to confirm their identity. The genital structures were dehydrated in absolute alcohol and mounted in Canada balsam on celluloid microslides, and pinned with the specimens from which they originated.
Distribution maps, created using ArcMap and ArcGIS, are presented for each species in New Brunswick. Every species is cited with current published distribution in Canada and Alaska, using abbreviations for the state, provinces, and territories. New provincial records are indicated in bold under Distribution in Canada and Alaska. The following abbreviations are used in the text:
