Males and some females of most species were dissected to confirm their identity. The genital structures were dehydrated in absolute alcohol, mounted in Canada balsam on celluloid microslides, and pinned with the specimens from which they originated.
Distribution maps, created using ArcMap and ArcGIS, are presented for each species in New Brunswick. Every species is cited with current distribution in Canada and Alaska, using abbreviations for the state, provinces, and territories. New provincial records are indicated in bold under Distribution in Canada and Alaska. The following abbreviations are used in the text.

Adults of this species were found in hardwood forests, mixed forests, and a mature red spruce forest. Adults were collected from moist leaf litter near forest pools or vernal ponds, near a small brook, and from the forest floor. One individual was collected from decaying fungi on the forest floor. This species was collected during May, June, and September.

Two adults of this species were collected along river margins from under drift material and in sand (splashing), and at an ultraviolet light in a silver maple swamp, and near a mixed forest. Adults were collected during May, June, and August.

In New Brunswick, most adults of this species were collected along river margins. Adults were collected from flood debris and drift material (maple seeds), and from under a cobblestone. Two adults were collected with an aerial net during an evening flight (16:00–18:00 h) along a river margin, and two individuals were collected from leaf litter at the base of a tree in mature hardwood forest (0.5 km from a river margin) during late April when some snow was still present. This may have been an overwintering site. Adults were collected during April, May, June, and July.
