Distribution. Western Palearctic, adventive in Canada. Canada: NB, NF. USA (NCR): NH (NSR).

Collection and Habitat data. The NH female was captured by a FIT in April–May that was placed in a pine-oak barrens. In Canada adults were sifted from flood debris and drift material along river margins, found in leaf litter near a brook in a red oak forest, from litter in multiple crotched silver maple trees in a silver maple swamp before the normal spring flood (in early April, probably an overwintering site), and in debris on the inland margin of salt marsh near a river. Specimens from NF were taken by pitfall traps, including one from an agricultural field ( Webster et al. 2009, Klimaszewski et al. 2011).
