Distribution.

Natural history.

The SK specimens were captured from aspen woodland bracket/gilled fungi, and from under aspen bark. Adults in NF and LB were collected from June to August using pitfall traps and flight intercept traps in various coniferous forest types, and one specimen was collected under the bark of a dead red pine ( Klimaszewski et al. 2011). In BC, adults were caught in July and September in emergence traps attached to the trunks of lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. latifolia Engelm.) infested by mountain pine beetle ( Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) ( Klimaszewski et al. 2013a). In NB, adults were found: under the bark of large fallen spruce in an old-growth eastern white cedar swamp; under tight bark of American elm; in a silver maple forest; in fleshy polypore fungi at the base of a dead standing Populus sp. in a wet alder swamp; and in a group of Pholiota sp. at the base of a dead Populus sp. in a mixed forest. In Quebec, adults were found in dead black spruce in a black spruce forest ( Webster et al. 2009). Adults were also captured in Lindgren funnel traps deployed in an old-growth white spruce ( Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) and balsam fir forest, an old mixed forest with red and white spruce, red and white pine ( Pinus strobus L.), and a rich Appalachian hardwood forest with some conifers ( Webster et al. 2009). Adults were collected from March to September ( Webster et al. 2009).
