Collection and habitat data.

Apocellus has been found along streams near moss and in open grassy areas ( Brunke et al. 2011). Most adults of Anotylus sphaericollis (Say)from New Brunswick were collected on bare soil among lawn grasses. One individual was collected by treading sedges and grasses on the margin of a small lake and another from drift material (tree bud material) along a cold sun-exposed stream. Adults were captured during June, July, September, and October.
