Collection and habitat data.

Adults of this northern species were collected by treading (forcing emergent vegetation into water) Carex in Carex marshes along a lake margin and a brook. At both sites where this species was found, Carex was covered with pollen. Adults were captured during June. Specimens of this species in the Carr collection in the CNC were collected by sweeping or sieving sedges in beaver ( Castor canadensis Kuhl.) ponds, marshes, bogs, dried boggy areas, small muskegs, sedge marshes, swamps, in sphagnum and moss at the edge of a sedge marsh, in wash-up along a river, and by sifting willow ( Salix )/poplar ( Populus ) leaves on a slope around a marsh (Anthony Davies, personal communication).
