Dyschirius (Dyschiriodes) pilosus LeConte 1857  

Found in low damp places in the forest on the secondary floodplain and on the steeper clayish banks of the Channel and river. The low damp places in the forest are sandy with low sparse prostrate vegetation and bare spots. The beetles are made active by treading on the soil and vegetation. The wings are fully developed and probably functional. Many examples were collected on the Island and adjacent shores between 1905 and the present (EAS, HSB, JLW, GFH, TLE). The beetles are numerous when located and there appears to be no connection with Bledius. Teneral adults are found in late summer. Adults were collected in March, April, May, August, and September. Hibernation takes place, most likely, in the adult stage. Total length, 2.7 to 3.2 mm (3.0).
