Natural history.
Philhygra proterminalis was found in various wetland habitats in NB. Adults were collected by treading vegetation near a vernal pool margin in a seasonally flooded marsh, sifting leaf litter in a red oak forest near a flooded seasonally flooded marsh, and by sifting moist leaves along a vernal pond margin in a mixed forest. Two individuals were captured in Lindgren funnel traps in a hardwood and mixed forest. Brunke et al. (2012) reported on specimens from a Lindgren funnel trap and from a madicolous spring in ON. Otherwise, nothing was previously known about the habitat associations of this species. Adults were collected during May, June, July, and August in NB and ON.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska.
ON, NB ( Brunke et al. 2012; Bousquet et al. 2013). Brunke et al. (2012) reported this species for the first time for Canada from ON.
