Collection and habitat data.

This species was found in mature hardwood forests with sugar maple and American beech, and in an old red oak forest. Eleven individuals (over 30 individuals observed) were collected from several large, decaying (from previous year), fleshy polypore fungi on an American beech log (tree had fallen during previous winter). One individual was collected from small bracket fungi on a sun-exposed stump, and one adult was captured in a Lindgren funnel trap. Adults were collected during April, June, and August.
