Nosodendron unicolor Say, 1824

Collection information.

USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: 15 individuals from 12 sites. Caught in flight trap from 9 March – 26 August 2020.

Distribution.

Eastern United States.

Saproxylic habits.

Larvae develop within slime fluxes on hardwood trees, and adults occur in this habitat as well (Hayes and Chu 1946); the beetles feed on fermenting sap enriched with microorganisms and any predation is likely facultative (Ivie 2002 a).

Conservation.

Occurrence probability increases in old forests (predating 1938 and oak dominated) in the Piedmont (Traylor et al. 2024).
