Collection and habitat data.
Little is known about the habitat assciations of members of this genus, especially in North America (
Smetana 1982
). Species from the Palaearctic have been collected from hollows of trees and stumps and in litter at bases of dead trees; some species occur regularly in bird nests in hollow trees and are often observed among ants (
Smetana 1982
). In New Brunswick, one specimen was collected from the nest contents of a barred owl (
Strix varia
Barton), one from under the bark of a large, dead, fungus-covered basswood (
Tilia americana
L.) log, and another from a Lindgren funnel trap deployed in mature (old) red oak (
Quercus rubra
L.) forest. One specimen was collected in association with an ant,
Formica subsericea
Say, in Iowa City, Iowa (
Smetana 1982
). Adults were collected during May and September.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska.
