Distribution.

Natural history.

In SK, adults were captured under fresh-cut pine slabs. In AB, adults were collected from dead or dying white spruce in aggregated retention patches surrounded by different levels of dispersed retention, using window traps (Klimaszewski et al. 2015a). Elsewhere, adults were found in mature coniferous forests, using pit-light traps and ethanol-baited Lindgren funnel traps (Klimaszewski et al. 2001). The adults were collected from July to August.
