KANSAS, Riley Co., Manhattan, University Park, 16-V-2012, CSUC. Ex [on] Betula sp. , Pennsylvania, Lebanon Co., 40.544590°, −76.535910°, 22-V-2007, PADA. NEVADA, Clark Co., Aravada Ranch, 7.3 mi E Whitney Pocket on AZ Road, malaise in narrow rocky gully, 26-VI–19-VII-2018, 1317 m, 36°31′35″, 114°02′60″, Ballmer & Irwin, UAIC. According to the collector, Sven-Erik Spichiger (personal communication), the Kansas beetles were collected on slash in a recent timber sale. Most adult and larval host records have been in the genus Quercus , though larval host records have been reported for several other totally unrelated plant genera ( MacRae and Basham 2013; Wellso and Manley 2007). The latter commented: “This common oak inhabiting species probably occurs in all states east of the Continental Divide.” In my opinion, too it probably occurs in most states west of the Continental Divide, although in some places, such as the Pacific Northwest, likely it was introduced.
