Collection and habitat data
Klimaszewski et al. (2011)[1] reported this species from coniferous, mixed, and deciduous forests in NF & LB. Specimens were captured in carrion-baited pitfall traps, unbaited pitfall traps, and flight intercept traps during June, July, and August. Some adults were collected from decaying mushrooms in forests (Klimaszewski et al. 2011[1]). Most specimens from New Brunswick were collected from fresh and decaying gilled mushrooms. One individual was collected from a rotting lobster mushroom and another from a coral mushroom on a spruce log. This species was found in mixed forests, mature red spruce forests with red maple or birch, a black spruce forest, an eastern white cedar swamp, and a red oak forest. Adults from New Brunswick were collected during August, September (most specimens), and October.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska
NB, NL, QC (Klimaszewski et al. 2011[1]). This species is probably more widely distributed in eastern Canada.
