Amphicrossus ciliatus (Olivier, 1811)

Collection information.

USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: 420 individuals from 39 sites. Caught in flight trap from 9 March – 9 September 2020.

Distribution.

Eastern North America.

Saproxylic habits.

Larvae develop within slime fluxes (fermenting sap flows) on tree injuries, and adults occur in this habitat too ( Cole and Streams 1970); adults occur at sap flows on oaks and maples, and on fleshy fungus ( Price and Young 2006).

Conservation.

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