Distribution.

This widely distributed species extends from Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 124) to Alaska (Lindroth 1966: 612), south to the Sierra Nevada in northeastern California (Liebherr 1991a: 119), southwestern Colorado (Wickham 1902: 239; Ouray County, CNC), northwestern Nebraska (Sheridan County, CNC), northwestern Pennsylvania (Erie County, CMNH), and “Maryland” (Liebherr 1994: 30). One specimen is also known from the city of Mexico (Liebherr 1994: 30) but in my opinion it is likely mislabeled.
