Distribution. Nearctic, recorded from A/S (Klimaszewski et al. 2021). Canada: AB, BC, LB, MB, NB, NF, NS, ON, QC, SK, YT. USA: AK, CA, NH (NSR), NV, OR.

Collection and Habitat data. A NH male was captured in September in alder litter at an old-growth boreal forest site a short distance from the border with Quebec. In AK found in wet boreal forests; forest edge with Populus tremuloides and Salix spp.; decaying mushrooms; ant nest under rock, alpine tundra; alpine Salix, Valeriana, shrubs; creek-side/ocean beach confluence, under boards and driftwood; and in a fireweed, grass habitat (Klimaszewski et al. 2021). In Canada frequently captured in pitfall traps in various forest types such as birch, spruce-lichen, spruce-poplar, fir; also, in vegetation on coastal dunes, in disturbed fields among grass and weeds, and on shrubby limestone barrens (Klimaszewski et al. 2011, 2018). In QC taken by pitfall traps in yellow birch/balsam fir forests, and (ON) sifted from litter in an oak savanna/alvar (Klimaszewski et al. 2018). In BC specimens were found in aspen litter beside high pond, in moss and alder litter at a cold stream, and in sedges at edge of creek (Klimaszewski et al. 2020).

Material. USA, New Hampshire, Coos Co.: Norton Pool, 2 mi E East Inlet Dam, 7.IX.1984, D.S. Chandler, sift alder litter, 1 male.
