Notes

The species lives in conifer forests. The larva and adult are found mainly in the rotten wood of pine trees and on the fruiting bodies of Basidiomycetes that grows on this tree species. The adult is found on flowers and inflorescences of Dicotyledons, particularly during the spring and summer ( Audisio 1993).
