In Wisconsin, adults of Mordellistena fuscipennis were collected at a black light and from flight intercept and malaise traps in various hardwood forests (Lisberg and Young 2003). In Nova Scotia, adults were collected from deciduous and mixed coniferous forests (Majka and Jackman (2006). This species was also found in various deciduous and conifer forest types in New Brunswick. Adults were captured in Lindgren funnel traps in a mature hardwood forest with sugar maple, American beech, and white ash, an old red oak forest, an old-growth northern hardwood forest with sugar maple and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis Britt.), in old and mature mixed forests, in an old red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) forest, in a mature red spruce forest, and in an old-growth white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) and balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.) forest. The only adult with specific micro-habitat data was collected from goldenrod (Solidago sp.) flowers. Two individuals were collected at an ultraviolet light near a mixed forest. Adults were collected during July and August.

A large series of this species was captured in Lindgren funnel traps in an old red oak forest. Most individuals were captured in traps in the forest canopy. One individual was captured in a Lindgren funnel trap in the canopy of a red pine in an old red pine forest; another emerged from barn timbers. Adults were captured during July. This species is a parasitoid of Ptilinus ruficornis (Say) (Anobiidae) and is found on exposed dead wood of sugar maples, American beech, and oak (Stephens 1968; Acciavatti and Simone 1976) and probably has a life history similar to that of Pelecotoma fennica (Svácha 1994). Ptilinus ruficornis was common at both localities where Pelecotoma flavipes was collected.
