Carpophilus brachypterus has been recorded in Canada from Manitoba east to Québec and Nova Scotia ( McNamara 1991; Majka and Cline 2006), and in the Unit- ed 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).
