Collection and habitat data.

All Sarosesthes fulminans specimens but one were captured in Lindgren funnel traps baited with racemic 3-hydroxyhexan-2-one. Lacey et al. (2009) showed that males of this species emit (R)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-one and (2S, 3R)-2,3-hexane-diol and that both sexes were attracted to males in laboratory olfactometer bioassays. Adults were collected in an old red oak forest during June, July, and August. Larvae of this uncommon species occur under bark and in sapwood of oak and other hardwood species ( Yanega 1996; Lingafelter 2007).

Distribution in Canada and Alaska.

ON, QC, NB ( McNamara 1991). This species was abundant at the Cranberry Lake P.N.A. (Protected Natural Area) and will probably be found at other localities in New Brunswick and the other Maritime provinces where red oak occurs using traps baited with racemic 3-hydroxyhexan-2-one.
