Collection and Habitat data. Specimens in NH were taken in May by a FIT in second growth boreal conifer forest. Elsewhere one specimen was found on decaying chanterelle mushrooms in a mixed forest, and another in deep layers of wet and moldy oak leaf litter ( Klimaszewski et al. 2018).

Material. USA, New Hampshire, Coos Co.: 1 mi NE East Inlet Dam, 10–26.V.1986, D.S. Chandler, FIT, 2 females .

Comments. Because we had examined only 2 females from NH, the capture of a male is needed to confirm this record.
