Collection and habitat data.

Phymatodes maculicollis larvae develop under bark of spruce ( Picea ) and fir branches ( Yanega 1996). This species, which is considered rare in the East, was captured in Lindgren funnel traps baited with racemic 3-hydrox yhexan- 2-one deployed in an old-growth eastern white cedar ( Thuja occidentalis L.) forest, an old-growth white spruce and balsam fir forest, an old red pine forest, an old mixed forest, and in an old red oak forest with scattered conifers. Adults were captured during May, June, and July.

Distribution in Canada and Alaska.

YK, BC, QC, NB ( McNamara 1991). McNamara (1991) listed Phymatodes maculicollis for New Brunswick but no supporting voucher specimens or other published records could be located by Webster et al. (2009). The above records establish the presence of this species for the province.
