Eastern North America. Saproxylic habits. Larvae develop in Hypoxylon fungus growing on oaks, where they were consuming fungal tissue (Lawrence 1977); emerged from pine and especially oaks (Ulyshen and Hanula 2009 a); adults most commonly reside under bark of freshly killed oaks, but also maple and beech (Stephan 1989; Gil 2008).
