Carpophilus brachypterus (Say, 1825)
Sunbury Co.: near Sunpoke Lake, 45.7658°N, 66.5546°W, red oak forest, on flowers of Viburnum cassinoides, (3, RWC); York Co.: Charters Settlement, 45.8395°N, 66.7391°W, 19.VI.2004, R.P. Webster, mixed forest, on mountain ash flowers, (1, RWC); same locality, 29.VIII.2007, mixed forest, in pile of corncobs and cornhusks, (1, RWC); Canterbury, near Browns Mountain Fen, 45.8964°N, 67.6273°W, 8.IX.2007, mixed forest, on flowers of Aster umbellatus, (1, RWC).
Carpophilus brachypterus has been recorded in Canada from Manitoba east to Québec and Nova Scotia (McNamara 1991; Majka and Cline 2006), and in the United States from New Hampshire south to North Carolina and west to Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and South Dakota (Parsons 1943; Chandler 2001). Price and Young (2006) found them on flowers of plum (Prunus americana Marsh.), choke cherry (P. virginiana L.), apple (Pyrus malus L.) (Rosaceae), everlasting (Antennaria neglecta Greene), and white snakeroot (Eupatorium rugosum Houtt.) (Asteraceae), in leaf litter, on rotting fruit, recently cut hardwoods, on driftwood, scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), white pine (Pinus strobus L.) (Pinaceae), and willow (Salix sp., Salicaceae) in a wide variety of forested and open habitats. Dillon and Dillon (1961) list the species from black haw (Viburnum prunifolium L., Caprifoliaceae).
