Collection and habitat data.

Most specimens from New Brunswick were collected from among cobblestones along clear, rocky river margins near the outflow of brooks. One individual was collected from the margin of a spring-fed brook among gravel on firm sand/clay/gravel mix near the outflow of the brook into a clear, rocky river. Specimens were usually found among cobblestones at waters edge. Adults were collected during May, June, and July. Adults from Newfoundland were captured from an unknown habitat in July and August ( Klimaszewski et al. 2011).
