Natural history.

The specimens from ON were collected in August. The NF specimens were captured in a light flight intercept trap in fir-deciduous forest in July/August ( Klimaszewski et al. 2011). These records indicate that adults occur late in the season.

Comments.

This species was originally reported by Bernhauer (1907) from Baring, WA and Pasadena, CA. The previously unknown female is illustrated here for the first time from a specimen from Mattagami, ON.
