Olibrus rufipes has been recorded in Canada from British Columbia ( Campbell 1991). In the United States LeConte (1856) recorded it from Oregon. No specific information on its biology is available, however, all known larvae in the genus Olibrus live in flower heads of Compositae and the pollen-feeding adults are often abundant on these plants ( Steiner 2002).
