Collection and habitat data.

Specimens of Atimia confusa confusa were caught in Lindgren traps in an old-growth eastern white cedar ( Thuja occidentalis L.) swamp and fen during May, June, August, and September. Most individuals were caught in traps in the open part of the fen. One individual was captured in a Lindgren trap deployed in the canopy of a tree in a mixed forest with eastern white cedar. Yanega (1996) states that larvae of this species develop under bark of cedars and junipers ( Juniperus sp.), and cypresses ( Taxodium sp.) but does not give any details on the species.
