Collection and habitat data.

Batrisodes scabriceps was reported from nests of Lasius, Formica, and Aphaenogaster species of ants (Park 1947). This species has also been taken from beneath oak bark (Chandler 1997), and specimens have been frequently taken in the United States by use of intercept traps or Lindgren funnel traps for bark beetle surveys in pine forests (Klimaszewski et al. 2007). All New Brunswick specimens were captured in Lindgren funnel traps deployed in an old red oak forest. Adults were captured during June, July, and August.

Distribution in Canada and Alaska.

ON, QC, NB (Davies 1991; Klimaszewski et al. 2007).
