Name
Anchytarsus bicolor (Melsheimer, 1846)** – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Material examined
New Brunswick, Charlotte Co., 10 km NW of New River Beach, 45.2110°N, 66.6170°W, 29.VI-16.VII.2010, R. Webster & C. MacKay, old growth eastern white cedar forest, Lindgren funnel traps (5, CNC, RWC).
Collection and habitat data
Larvae of Anchytarsus bicolor feed on rotten wood of submerged, water-logged logs in slow-flowing streams (LeSage and Harper 1976b[1]; Stribling 1986[2]). Adults of this uncommon species have been collected at lights and from under leaf litter along stream margins (LeSage and Harper 1976b[1]). Specimens from New Brunswick were captured in Lindgren funnel traps deployed near a slow-flowing stream in an old-growth eastern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) swamp. Adults were captured between late June and mid July. Elsewhere, this species has been collected from May to July (Stribling 1986[2]).
