Collection and habitat data.

Wagner (1975) recorded this species from under bark of pine ( Pinus sp.). Chandler (1990) reported that this species was associated with dead pine trees in Latimer Co., Oklahoma, as well as being collected from an oak ( Quercus sp.) tree hole, old sawdust, under bark, and at the base of a standing dead pine ( Chandler 1997). In New Brunswick, adults were captured in Lindgren funnel traps deployed in an old (180-year-old) red pine ( Pinus resinosa Ait.) forest and an old (180-year-old) mixed forest with various conifer species including red and white pine ( Pinus strobus L.). Adults were captured during June, July, and August.
