Remarks: The Canadian records for AB are based on the distribution localities given in the original description. Christiansen & Bellinger (1980, p. 851) wrote later, “the only certain record of this species is from the type locality [North Carolina, USA], but 2 specimens from Canada may belong here. One from Banff, Alberta, is similar in all features seen except the chaetotaxy of the second abdominal segment. The second is from Churchill, Manitoba, the type locality of E. lateropicta ”. They also suggested the possibility that the latter species may be a senior synonym of E. gisini , rather than of E. comparata as supposed earlier. Thus a rather high level of uncertainty still exists.

General distribution: Nearctic.
