Range: northeastern North America south to Florida, west to Ohio. Habitat: poorly known. Collection Method: hand collecting, emergence. Biology: collected from under pine bark, associated with woody debris, adults have been collected year round. Pace (1989) reported Casey (1906) taking this species under bark of old chestnuts, but no mention of this could be found. Present Study: not significantly associated with any substrate or forest type. References: Casey 1906 (as Ulitusa cribratula Casey ); Downie and Arnett 1996; Klimaszewski et al. 2004; Gouix and Klimaszewski 2007.
