Collection information.
USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: a single individual from one site. Sifted from leaf litter from 27–28 July 2020.
Distribution.
Southeastern United States.
Saproxylic habits.
Larvae develop within smaller, dry branches, and adults are flightless ( Steiner 1999); adults occur under dead bark and logs, including oak and pine ( Ciegler 2014).
Conservation.
Apparently lost after 1925 from the fauna of Plummers Island, Maryland, possibly due to changing forest conditions ( Steiner 2008); considered an indicator of undisturbed, open forest conditions ( Steiner 1999).
