All specimens but two (which were hand collected) were collected from Lindgren 12-funnel trap samples during studies to develop improved tools for detection of invasive species of
Traps were baited with various multi-lure combinations of plant volatiles and longhorn beetle aggregation/sex pheromones that varied among sites and years. These included high release-rate lures of ethanol and alpha-pinene, as well as hydroxyketones, hexanediols, 2-undecyloxy-1-ethanol (commonly known as monochamol), ipsenol, (
A description of the habitat was recorded for all specimens collected during this survey. Locality and habitat data are presented as on labels for each record. Two labels were used on many specimens, one that included the locality, collection date, and collector, and one with macro- and micro-habitat data and collection method. Information from the two labels is separated by a // in the data presented from each specimen. This information, as well as additional published data, is summarized and discussed in the collection and habitat data section for each species.
Every species is cited with current distribution in Canada and Alaska, using abbreviations for the state, provinces, and territories. New records for New Brunswick are indicated in
