Collection and habitat data.

Larval hosts include Diospyros virginiana L., American beech ( Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.), honey locust ( Gleditsia triacanthos L.), and white oak ( Quercus alba L.) ( Nelson et al. 2008). Fagus grandifolia is the only known host species that occurs in New Brunswick, although other Quercus sp. such as Q. rubra (red oak) occur in the province. Adults from New Brunswick were collected from foliage of Q. rubra , a probable host of A. crinicornis in the province.
