Collection and habitat data.

Larvae of Anchytarsus bicolor feed on rotten wood of submerged, water-logged logs in slow-flowing streams ( LeSage and Harper 1976b; Stribling 1986). Adults of this uncommon species have been collected at lights and from under leaf litter along stream margins ( LeSage and Harper 1976b). Specimens from New Brunswick were captured in Lindgren funnel traps deployed near a slow-flowing stream in an old-growth eastern white cedar ( Thuja occidentalis L.) swamp. Adults were captured between late June and mid July. Elsewhere, this species has been collected from May to July ( Stribling 1986).
