Collection and habitat data.

Majka and Cline (2006) reported this species mostly from coniferous forests in Nova Scotia and from one hardwood stand. Adults were reported from decaying red maple ( Acer rubrum L.) and decomposing fungi. In New Brunswick, adults were collected from Laetiporus sulphureus (Fr.) Murr. (chicken mushroom) in a hardwood forest with sugar maple ( Acer saccharum Marsh.), white ash ( Fraxinus americana L.), and American beech ( Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) and in an old red oak forest. One individual was captured in a Lindgren funnel trap deployed in an old red oak stand. Adults were collected during June, August, and September.
