Comments

Adults of
Stelidota coenosa
were collected from partially dried bolete mushrooms on a roadside through a jack pine forest. Little is known about the habitat requirements of this species. Other species in the genus have been found in decaying fruit and fungi (
Downie and Arnett 1996
). Most members of the genus are tropical (
Ford 1996
). In the United States,
Stelidota coenosa
(as
Stelidota ferruginea
Reitter) has been recorded from NJ west to MI, south to FL and TX (
Downie and Arnett 1996
).
