Collection and habitat data.

Ectopria nervosa was collected at an ultraviolet light and in an ultraviolet light trap deployed in a mature hardwood forest and a mixed forest. Small spring-fed brooks were in the vicinity of the sites where the lights were used. Two individuals were swept from foliage along a river margin (clear, fast-flowing, rocky river). Adults were captured during June and July in New Brunswick.
