Description
Cryptarcha ampla Erichson, 1843
Carleton Co.: Belleville, Meduxnekeeg Valley Nature Preserve, 46.1957°N, 67.6800°W, 14.VII.2004, R.P. Webster, rich Appalachian hardwood forest, UV light trap, (1, RPW); York Co.: Charters Settlement, 45.8395°N, 66.7391°W, 25.VI.2003, 26.VI.2003, 19.VII.2005, 26.VII.2005, 12.VII.2006, R.P. Webster, mixed forest, m. v. light, (5, RWC); same locality, 10.VII.2005, mixed forest, at sap flow on Salix sp., (1, RWC); Sunbury Co.: Lakeville Corner, 45.9013°N, 66.2565°W, 27.VIII.2006, silver maple forest, on corncobs, (1, RWC).
Cryptarcha ampla has been recorded in Canada from British Columbia east to Québec and Nova Scotia (McNamara 1991; Majka and Cline 2006), and in the United States from Maine south to Florida and Alabama, west to Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Colorado, and California (Parsons 1943; Chandler 2001; Price and Young 2006). The species is found at sap flows on maple, oak, hickory, and willow (Parsons 1943; A. Cline, pers. obs.) as well as in fungi and at lights (Downie and Arnett 1996) and is associated with oak wilt fungus mats (Cease and Juzwik 2001). Price and Young (2006) reared a specimen from the stem of a milkweed (Asclepias syriaca L., Asclepiadaceae).
