Distribution.

Natural history.

In Saskatchewan, one female was captured in a carrion trap and one from wind-drift. Elsewhere, specimens were found under rocks in a high altitude meadow and some from AB were reared in laboratory ( Klimaszewski 1984).

Comments.

The SK specimens are darker and have only the central part of elytra reddish and the rest of the body piceous whereas the typical form of this species has the entire elytra orange or reddish-brown. Pubescence and punctation pattern and the genitalia of SK specimens are identical to the typical form with orange or reddish elytra.
