Collection and habitat data.

Zilora hispida was found in a mature and an old mixed forest, an old-growth white spruce and balsam fir forest, and an old red oak forest in New Brunswick. One adult was collected from under bark of red spruce infested with Scolytinae ; four others were captured in Lindgren funnel traps. This species has been reared from Picea glauca in Montana ( Majka and Pollock 2006) and has been found on Abies balsamea in Maine ( Dearborn and Donahue 1993), otherwise little is known about its biology and habitat associations. Adults were captured during May, June, and August.
