Comments.

All specimens of Chariessa pilosa reported from NB were captured in Lindgren funnel traps. At sites (seven of eight sites where species was detected) where both high (canopy) and low traps were tested, Chariessa pilosa was captured exclusively in traps deployed in the canopy of trees. This species was captured in low traps at only one site (Eel River P.N.A.). At this site, canopy traps were not used, and the four specimens were captured in traps along the edge of an open fen.
