Collection and habitat data.

Calitys scabra was captured in Lindgren funnel traps deployed in an old red oak forest, a mature red spruce stand, an old-growth red pine forest, and an old mixed forest. This species was reported from under bark of dead pine and from Fomitopsis pinicola (Fr.) Kar. ( Barron 1971). Adults were collected during May, June, and July.
