Natural history.
In NB, specimens were collected from a pitfall trap and from moist grass litter in a small sedge marsh in a mixed forest. One specimen from QC was captured in a Luminoc pit-light trap (
Klimaszewski et al. 2002
); specimens from
ON
were collected in hedgerows beside soybean fields (
Brunke 2011
[thesis]). Little else is known about the biology of this species. Adults were found during May, June, and September.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska.

Comments.
Brunke et al. (2012)
provided additional evidence supporting the concept that
Tinotus caviceps
and
Tinotus trisecus
Casey are distinct species.
