Description
Cathartosilvanus imbellis (LeConte, 1854)
Collection information.
USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: five individuals from three sites. Caught in flight trap from 19 May – 11 August 2020.
Distribution.
Eastern North America.
Saproxylic habits.
Occur almost exclusively under bark, especially of oaks (Thomas 1993); emerged from loblolly pine, water oak, southern red oak, ash, and sweetgum (Gil 2008; Ulyshen and Hanula 2009 a, 2010; Ulyshen et al. 2012); may rapidly colonize freshly burned logs (Ulyshen et al. 2010).
