Notes
This species is widespread in the eastern United States. It is found under bark of tree trunks and branches. Its seeming scarcity in GSMNP (one individual in ATBI survey) is probably due to very limited collecting in its habitat. One specimen was collected by the author subsequent to the ATBI survey.
