Material examined.

New Brunswick, Sunbury Co., Lakeville Corner, 45.9007°N, 66.2423°W, 10.IX.2006, R. P. Webster, silver maple forest on ridge with red oaks, on gilled mushrooms (2, RWC).

Collection and habitat data.

Little was previously known about the habitat associations of this species other than some specimens having been collected from mushrooms ( Campbell 1973). The two specimens from New Brunswick were collected from gilled mushrooms near a silver maple swamp during September. Campbell (1973) commented that the late period of annual activity (September and October) was quite different from other species occurring in eastern North America.

Distribution in Canada and Alaska.
