CORtIcOtOmuS cAvIcepS (Fall, 1910)

This species has broad distribution west of the Great Plains in the United States and Canada ( Barron 1971). This species’ disjunct recorded distribution in Montana ( Fig. 2B View Fig ) is most likely an artifact of collecting and sampling. It likely inhabits most, if not all, of the NFM ecoregion. While this species can be collected by beating freshly downed pines (personal observation) or rearing from a variety of trees, primarily conifers ( Barron 1971), all 54 Montana specimens examined were collected by Lindgren funnels.

County Records ( Fig. 2B View Fig ): Big Horn (1), Carter (1), Dawson (1), Deer Lodge (1), Garfield (1), Golden Valley (10), Granite (5), Missoula (3), Musselshell (12), Powder River (1), Prairie (1), Ravalli (5), Rosebud (2), Sanders (1), Treasure (4), Valley (4), Yellowstone (1).
