was found in various wetland habitats. Adults were sifted from moist leaves along the margin of vernal ponds in mixed forests, a hardwood forest, and a silver maple swamp, sifted from leaves and sedges along a pond margin, treaded from
Carex
and grasses along a lake margin, sifted from moss and leaf litter in a seepage area in a hardwood forest, treaded from vegetation in a seasonally flooded marsh near a pool, sifted from debris on muddy soil near a brook, sifted from leaf litter and moss under alders near a brook, and from drift material on a river margin, hand collected from cobblestones on a partially shaded cobblestone bar along a medium-sized stream, and collected by splashing water on moss near the splash zone of a waterfall. Adults were captured during May, June, July, and September in New Brunswick. The holotype was captured in a flight intercept trap in a mixed forest (
