Tergite and sternite 8 as illustrated (Figs 23, 24). Bionomics. Adults were captured by treading Sphagnum and Carex at edge of marsh in August. Geographic distribution (Map 2). Known only from the Queen Charlotte Islands of British Columbia, Canada. Comments. Schistoglossa campbelli has a median lobe of the aedeagus and spermatheca similar to those of S. hampshirensis and S. pseudocampbelli to which it is probably closely related.

Webster, river margin, among cobblestones near outflow of brook [under alders] (RWC) 1 female. Etymology. The specific name, pseudocampbelli, is an adjective derived from the prefix pseudo added to the name campbelli, reflecting close genital similarities between the two species. Gender masculine. Diagnosis. Body length 2.7–2.9 mm, body narrowly subparallel, approximately uniformly dark brown, with legs and antennal bases paler, moderately glossy and moderately densely pubescent (Fig. 3); antennae with articles 5–10 slightly transverse (Fig. 3); tempora each as long as approximately three times the maximal diameter of eye as seen from above (Fig. 3); median lobe of aedeagus moderately broad, venter of tubus almost straight (Fig. 27), apical sclerites of internal sac V-shaped in dorsal view (Fig. 26); spermatheca L-shaped, with capsule tubular, stem moderately narrow and approximately straight (Fig. 30). Description. Body length 2.7–2.9 mm, width 0.4 mm, approximately uniformly dark brown with slightly paler legs and antennal bases (Fig. 3); integument with microsculpture well pronounced, sculpticells irregularly hexagonal, pubescence short, except for slightly longer on head and abdomen, yellowish brown in artificial light, moderately dense. Head slightly elongate, rounded, feebly carinate basally, tempora as long as approximately three times the maximal diameter of an eye (Fig. 3); antennae with articles 1–3 strongly elongate and 5–10 moderately transverse (Fig. 3); pronotum transverse, broadly rounded laterally and posteriorly, broadest in basal half, pubescence directed anteriorly on apical third of the midline and obliquely laterally elsewhere (Fig. 3); elytra as long as pronotum at suture, strongly transverse, subparallel, hind margin slightly sinuate, pubescence directed straight posteriad (Fig. 3); abdomen parallel-sided, four basal tergites strongly impressed basally (Fig. 3 ). Male. Median lobe of the aedeagus moderately broad and flattened, venter of tubus approximately straight with apex narrow (Fig. 27), apical sclerites of internal sac V-shaped in dorsal view (Fig. 26); paramere as illustrated (Fig. 25); tergite 8 transverse and broadly emarginate apically, apical margin feebly crenulate and with two large lateral teeth (Fig. 28); sternite 8 elongate and rounded posteriorly, slightly pointed medially, antecostal suture slightly pointed medially (Fig. 29). Female. Tergite 8 truncate apically and slightly emarginate medially (Fig. 31); sternite 8 broadly rounded apically and slightly pointed medially (Fig. 32). Spermatheca L-shaped, with tubular capsule, stem narrow and feebly sinuate and twisted posteriorly (Fig. 30). Bionomics. Like other members of this genus, this species was most commonly captured in marshes or near wetlands. Adults were captured in Carex marshes in sphagnum hummocks, by treading sedge hummocks into water, sweeping foliage in Carex marsh, in grass and sphagnum at the base of alder in a marsh with grasses and alders, 60 Jan Klimaszewski, Reginald Webster & Karine Savard / ZooKeys 22: 45–79 (2009) 30 0.2 mm 25 26 27 28 29 3Ι 32 Figures 25–32.

Geographic distribution (Map 3). Known only from New Brunswick, Canada. Comments. Schistoglossa pseudocampbelli has genital structures similar to those of S. campbelli and S. brunswickensis and is probably closely related to these species.
