Comments.

All but one specimen were captured in Lindgren funnel traps in the canopy of various tree species during 2012, 2013, and 2014. Interestingly, this species was not detected at the Bell Forest or other sites in NB prior to 2012, possibly because sampling was not done using Lindgren traps in the canopy of trees before 2012.
