Habitat

In Alaska, Iliaca inhabits alder and willow thickets in spruce forest, often in white spruce (Austin 1968). Unalascensis occurs from beaches to timberline, preferring willow and blackberry thickets, and lush and brushy riparian vegetation (Linsdale 1928, Williamson and Peyton 1962, Austin 1968).
