Newly recorded in Nova
Scotia
. The bionomics of members of the Hypulini has been little investigated; museum label data, however, suggest that they are xylophagous. One specimen was reared from
Picea glauca
in Montana while another was collected in an
Abies balsamea
forest in Newfoundland (D. Pollock, unpublished data). In Maine found on
A. balsamea
(
Dearborn & Donahue 1993
)
. In Nova
Scotia
, collected in a
Picea rubens
dominated forest.
