18. Collection localities in New Brunswick, Canada of
Synchita fuliginosa
.
Collection and habitat data.
Most (16) adults from New Brunswick were captured in Lindgren funnel traps deployed in a mature hardwood forest, an old red oak forest, an old silver maple swamp, and an old red pine forest. Individuals with more specific bionomic data were reared from American elm (
Ulmus americana
L.) bolts and
taken
at an ultraviolet light. Elsewhere,
Synchita fuliginosa
have been found under bark of a variety of hardwood species or collected at light (
Stephan 1989
).
