Collection and habitat data
This species was collected from various forest types in New Brunswick, including hardwood forests with sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) and American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.), a red oak (Quercus rubra L.) forest, eastern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) forests, an old red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) forest, and mixed forests. Most adults were collected from Lindgren funnel traps (29). Adults with specific microhabitat data were collected from moss and leaf litter at base of trees, beating or sweeping foliage, and beating birch branches that had dead dried leaves. Adults were collected during April, May, June, and July.
