Description
Namunaria guttulata (LeConte, 1863)
Collection information.
USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: seven individuals from seven sites. Caught in flight trap from 27 July – 9 September 2020.
Distribution.
Eastern North America.
Saproxylic habits.
Occur on fungal growth under the bark of dead hardwoods (e. g., beech) and pines, including snags (Hopkins 1893; Howden and Vogt 1951; Stephan 1989); emerged from loblolly pine, sweetgum, and water oak logs and snags (Ulyshen and Hanula 2009 a), and from ash limbs in the canopy (Ulyshen et al. 2012).
Conservation.
Significantly associated with old forests (predating 1938 and oak dominated) in highly forested landscapes (> 50 % forest) in the Piedmont (Traylor et al. 2023 a).
