Collection and Habitat data.
The NH specimens were captured by flight intercept traps, and by sifting a variety of leaf litters and rotten woods in forests and by streams and bogs. Collected from April to October. In AK specimens were found in
Betula
,
Salix
,
Populus
, and
Picea glauca
forests, and in old-growth, clear-cut, and thinned and un-thinned 2nd growth forests, in decaying mushrooms in a
Betula
forest; and in a coastal rain forest. In
Canada
adults were found in various forest
types
, usually in decaying fungi (often common) and leaf litter; and in
Carex
marsh in litter at base of tree. In NF taken in unbaited and carrion-baited pitfall traps and flight intercept traps in various coniferous, mixed wood, and riparian forests (

et al.
