Collection and habitat data
This species was reported from groundhog (Marmota sp.) and ground squirrel (Cittellus sp.) burrows, usually early in the spring (Klimaszewski 1984[1]). Adults were taken from moist soil and grass roots in or near the entrances to the burrows. One of the specimens from New Brunswick was collected from litter in the entrance to a groundhog or woodchuck (Marmota monax (L.)) burrow. The other individual was captured in a Lindgren funnel trap deployed in an old red oak (Quercus rubra L.) forest. Adults were collected during May and early June.
