Abstract: Stenoscelis brevis (Boheman, 1845) Collection information. USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: 19 individuals from 10 sites. Caught in flight trap from 6 May – 16 June 2020. Distribution. Eastern North America. Saproxylic habits. Larvae develop, and adults occur gregariously in decaying wood of many hardwoods and larch, including dead portions and exposed wood in living trees (Blackman and Stage 1918, 1924; Anderson 1952); adults also occur in solid, dry wood and old stumps (Beutenmuller 1893; Hoffmann 1942); associated with moderately decayed wood (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); rare in the Maritime Provinces of Canada, possibly due to the history of intensive forest management in the region altering forest composition and structure (Majka 2007).
