Nosodendron unicolor Say, 1824 View in CoL

Collection information.

USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: 15 individuals from 12 sites. Caught in flight trap from 9 March – 26 August 2020.

Distribution.

Eastern United States.

Saproxylic habits.

Larvae develop within slime fluxes on hardwood trees, and adults occur in this habitat as well ( Hayes and Chu 1946); the beetles feed on fermenting sap enriched with microorganisms and any predation is likely facultative ( Ivie 2002 a).

Conservation.

Occurrence probability increases in old forests (predating 1938 and oak dominated) in the Piedmont ( Traylor et al. 2024).
