Distribution.

This species ranges from Massachusetts (Harris 1833: 567; Frost 1910: 86) to southeastern Minnesota (Gandhi et al. 2005: 923), including southern Ontario (Lindroth 1961a: 34), south to southeastern Mississippi (Stone County, UASM), southwestern Alabama (Van Dyke 1945a: 126), and the Florida Panhandle (Peck and Thomas 1998: 16). The record from “Louisiana” (Summers 1874a: 79) is probably in error.
