Collection and habitat data
Campbell (1976)[1] reported this species from mushrooms. In New Brunswick, specimens were collected from polypore fungi on logs, from under bark, and among moldy corncobs and cornhusks. This species was found in red oak and red maple forests, old silver maple (Acer saccharinum L.) forests, and near a mixed forest. Adults were collected during May, August, and September.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska
ON, NB. (Brunke and Marshall 2011[2]). Campbell (1976)[1] did not report this species from Canada. However, there are two specimens of this species in the Canadian National Collection from Turkey Point, Ontario collected in 1975 that first establish this species as a member of the Canadian fauna. Brunke and Marshall (2011)[2] reported an additional record from Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario. In the United States, this species occurs from New Hampshire west to Iowa and south to Florida (Campbell 1976[1]).
