Eastern North America.

Saproxylic habits.

Larvae develop within slime fluxes (fermenting sap flows) on tree injuries, and adults occur in this habitat too (Cole and Streams 1970); adults occur at sap flows on oaks and maples, and on fleshy fungus (Price and Young 2006).

Conservation.

Occurrence probability increases in old forests (predating 1938 and oak dominated) in the Piedmont (Traylor et al. 2024).
