Description

Aulonium parallelopipedum (Say, 1826)

Collection information.

USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: two individuals from two sites. Caught in flight trap from 19 May – 16 June 2020.

Distribution.

Eastern United States.

Saproxylic habits.

Emerged from sweetgum and water oak snags (Ulyshen and Hanula 2009 a); adults occur on dead logs or under bark, including oak, beech, and elm (Hopkins 1893; Robinson 1918; Hoffmann 1942; Gil 2008); species of Aulonium Erichson, 1845 are likely fungivores that facultatively prey upon bark beetles (Ivie 2002 b).
