Isorhipis obliqua (Say, 1836)

Collection information.

USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: 866 individuals from 38 sites. Caught in flight trap from 21 April – 11 August 2020.

Distribution.

Eastern North America.

Saproxylic habits.

Larvae develop in the heartwood of decayed hardwoods (e. g., maple; Peterson 1960), and have emerged from dry, dead wood of various hardwoods ( Knull 1946; Muona 2000); associated with moderately decayed logs ( Ferro et al. 2012 a).

Conservation.

Significantly higher abundance in secondary (= second-growth) than primary (= old-growth) forests in the southern Appalachian Mountains ( Ferro et al. 2012 a); significantly associated with old forests (predating 1938 and oak dominated) in the Piedmont ( Traylor et al. 2023 a).
