Apimela canadensis is a species of Staphylinid (rove beetle) first described in 2017 from specimens collected in New Brunswick, Canada. [1] Its species name, canadensis, was given in honour of the 150th anniversary of Canada's Confederation. [2]
Apimela canadensis was originally found near the Meduxnekeag River to the west of Woodstock, in New Brunswick (Canada) in 2008. [3]
The holotype and three paratype specimens were captured in the months of May and June on an area of partially shaded cobblestones near the outflow of a brook along the Jacquet River. The adults were found under cobblestones and gravel in sand. One paratype was found along a river margin underneath a cobblestone which was in a grassy area away from the water’s edge. [1]
Adult A. canadensis are very small, measuring 2.0–3.0 mm in total length. They are a glossy, yellowish brown in colour, with slightly darker head and covered in a fine pubescence. [1]
