Fenyes 1909

Natural history. In Alberta, adults were caught in window traps attached to aspen snags in a boreal aspen stand harvested two years previously, and in pitfall traps deployed in canola fields. Adults were collected in July. Comments. It is the first record of this species in Canada, and its broader distribution in Canada is unknown. It is probably continuously distributed in the Rocky Mountains, from Arizona in the south to Canada in the north.
