Tohlezkus inexpectus Vit ( Fig. 38 View Figures 33–38 )

Range: Sevier Co., Tennessee, and Macon Co., North Carolina. Habitat: rotten wood, very rarely in leaf litter. Collection Method: dung trap, sifting/Berlese litter and CWD5, emergence chamber. Biology: adults have unique suctorial mouthparts, possibly feed on slime molds. Ferro et al. (2012a): significantly higher abundance in CWD5, primary forest, and spring; previously known from five specimens ( Vit 1995 and C. E. Carlton collection). Present Study: significantly higher abundance in FWD2, CWD3–4, and primary forest. References: Vit 1995.
