Kings Co.: Grand Bay, 25.V.2001, D.F. McAlpine, (1, NBM). York Co.: Charters Settlement , 45.8395°N, 66.7391°W, 29.VIII.2007, 8.IX.2007, 26.IX.2007, R.P. Webster, mixed forest, in pile of corncobs and cornhusks, (4, RWC) ; same locality, 1.VIII.2007, mixed forest, m. v. light , (1, RWC) .

Lobiopa undulata has been recorded in Canada from Alberta east to Québec (McNamara 1991), and broadly distributed throughout the United States ( Parsons 1943). The species is found at sap, under bark, at lights in the spring and fall, and typically overwinters beneath logs ( Parsons 1943; Downie and Arnett 1996), and sometimes gregariously in subcortical spaces (A. Cline, pers. obs.). Price and Young (2006) found it on a recently cut maple ( Acer sp.) stump.
