Distribution.

Natural history.

In SK, several females were found in dry and decaying mushrooms in August. In NF, adults were collected from June to October in carrion-baited and unbaited pitfall traps and in flight intercept traps in many forest types (coniferous, mixedwood and deciduous), and some adults were found in rotting mushrooms in forests ( Klimaszewski et al. 2011). Elsewhere, adults were collected in June and August, from organic litter in red spruce forest in NB and forest litter in YT ( Klimaszewski et al. 2005, 2008b).
