English: Broscus cephalotes (Linnaeus). This relatively large Palaearctic carabid is one of the most recently established species in North America. The first recorded specimen was found in the late 1980s and, considering the species’ size, it is doubtful that it would have escaped notice for a long period. On this continent, the species has been found only on bare, fine sand along coastal beaches in Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton in company with amphipods of the genus Gammarus which probably make up part of their diet. The pathway of introduction of this broscine on American soil is uncertain.
