Natural history
Females of this myrmecophilous species were collected from nests of Myrmica alaskensis Wheeler, the only known host ant species (Maruyama and Klimaszewski 2004[1], 2006[2]). Additional specimens were collected from window traps and a pitfall trap in a burned forest (Maruyama and Klimaszewski 2006[2], Klimaszewski et al. 2011[3]). The specimen from NB was captured in a Lindgren funnel trap in an old cedar and spruce forest with Populus balsamifera & Populus tremuloides.
