Notes
This species inhabits branches of trees and shrubs. It is extremely rare in GSMNP, represented in the ATBI survey by a single specimen. It was probably introduced from Europe on both coasts of North America. It is frequent in the Vancouver area of British Columbia but is extremely scarce in eastern North America.
