Distribution.

The range of this species extends from Nova Scotia (Majka and Vickery 2008) to “Wisconsin” (Rauterberg 1885: 23), including southern Quebec and southern Ontario (Lindroth 1966: 423), south to northwestern Texas (Nolan County, CMNH), southwestern Alabama (Clarke County, CMNH), and northern Florida (Suwanee County, CMNH). The record from southern Arizona (Snow 1907: 142) is probably in error.
