Distribution.

Natural history.

In Newfoundland, adults were collected using pitfall traps, carrion traps and flight intercept traps in various forest types (coniferous, deciduous, mixedwood and riparian) and on coastal limestone barrens of Labrador ( Klimaszewski et al. 2011). Some specimens were collected from rotting mushrooms in forests ( Klimaszewski et al. 2011). Elsewhere, adults were collected from leaf litter, moss, fungi, in natural and harvested deciduous and coniferous forests ( Klimaszewski et al. 2006). It is a very adaptable and common Oxypoda species in Canada. The adults were collected from May to October.
