Description
Pycnomerus sulcicollis LeConte, 1863
Collection information.
USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: three individuals from three sites. Caught in flight trap from 2 June – 26 August 2020.
Distribution.
Eastern United States.
Saproxylic habits.
Under bark and in moist, rotting wood of hardwoods (especially oaks and hickory), and occasionally pines (Stephan 1989; Gil 2008); emerged from oaks, loblolly pine, sweetgum logs and hardwood twigs (Ulyshen and Hanula 2009 a; Ferro and Nguyen 2016); emerged throughout loblolly pine decomposition and associated with the base and fallen logs of dead pine trees (Ulyshen and Hanula 2009 a, 2010).
Conservation.
Significantly associated with young forests (regrown since 1938 and pine dominated) in highly forested landscapes (> 50 % forest) in the Piedmont (Traylor et al. 2023 a).
