Distribution.

This European species is adventive in North America where it is known from Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 82; Larson and Langor 1982: 593) to western Quebec (Larochelle 1975: 112), and from the New England area (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 121). The first inventoried specimen collected on this continent was found prior to 1863 (LeConte 1863b: 14) probably in Nova Scotia as recorded by Horn (1875: 131). The record from eastern Ontario (Hamilton 1889b: 94) is probably in error.
