Distribution.

Natural history.

In Saskatchewan, adults were collected from mushrooms in a pine forest. In Labrador, adults were collected using flight intercept traps in spruce-birch and spruce-poplar forests ( Klimaszewski et al. 2011). Elsewhere, adults were collected from gilled mushrooms ( Russula sp.) in mixed forests, white and red spruce forests, white cedar swamps, yellow birch and spruce forests, and oak and maple forests ( Seevers 1951, Klimaszewski et al. 2009b, 2011). The adults were collected in August and September.
