Collection and habitat data
In the United States, this species has been collected from under bark, under a brush pile, and by sifting humus (Campbell 1976[1]). The New Brunswick specimens were collected from the inside of well-rotted, fungus-covered logs and from polypore fungi on dead, standing Populus sp. This species was found in an old-growth eastern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) swamp and in mature to old mixed forests. Adults were collected during June and August.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska
ON, QC, NB (Paquin and Dupérré 2001[2]; Brunke and Marshall 2011[3]).
