Distribution.

This Holarctic species ranges in the Palaearctic Region from northern European Russia to the Far East, south to Manchuria (Bousquet 2003d: 517), and in the Nearctic Region from Alaska (Lindroth 1966: 533) to Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 88), south to high mountains in New England (Lindroth 1966: 533), the Black Hills in southwestern South Dakota (Robert L. Davidson pers. comm. 2008), and Wyoming (Lindroth 1966: 533). The record from "New York" (Notman 1928: 226) needs confirmation; that from Ohio (Everly 1927: 155) is in error. Fossil remnants of this species, dated between about 10,400 and 18,100 years B.P., have been unearthed in southeastern Iowa (Baker et al. 1986: 96) and Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia (Miller 1997: 250); others, believed to be 2.0-2.5 million years old, have been found in Greenland (Bennike and Böcher 1990: 336; Böcher 1995: 28).
