Collection and habitat data.

Most (17 out of 27) individuals of Oplosia nubila from New Brunswick were captured in Lindgren funnel traps in the canopy of trees. Larvae of this species develop under bark of decaying basswood, hickory (which does not occur in New Brunswick), and beech ( Yanega 1996). In New Brunswick, nearly all adults were captured in traps that were either in the canopy or understory of basswood trees at sites where other tree species were also sampled.

Distribution in Canada and Alaska.
