Collection and Habitat data. Two NH females were captured in a FIT in May set in a boreal forest site close to the border with Quebec. In Canada specimens were collected by pitfall and flight intercept traps in various coniferous forest types. Specimens have been found under bark of coniferous (red pine, spruce) and deciduous (American elm) trees; also found in fleshy polypore fungi at base of dead standing Populus sp. in a wet alder swamp, and in a group of Pholiota sp. at the base of a dead standing Populus sp. in a mixed forest.Adults were collected by Lindgren funnel traps in old-growth coniferous forests ( Klimaszewski et al. 2013b, 2021). In BC taken by emergence traps attached to the trunks of lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. latifolia Engelm.) infested by mountain pine beetle ( Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins ( Klimaszewski et al. 2020) .
