Distribution. Holarctic, recorded from A/S (Klimaszewski et al. 2021). Canada: AB, BC, LB, MB, NF, NS, NB, NT, ON, PE, QC, SK, YT. USA: AK, NH (NSR).

Collection and Habitat data. In NH captured at a high elevation, 5000’, as well as at a low elevation kettle bog in June that is known for its relict boreal fauna, here captured by a flight intercept trap. In Canada recorded from riparian and wetland habitats: from drift material along river margins, from gravel and under cobblestones on margins of cool, clear shaded brooks, treading emergent Carex and grasses on lake margin, sifted from leaf litter on beaver pond margin, from sticks and debris from outflow area of beaver dam, sifted from leaves and sedges on pond margin, and sifted from Sphagnum on swamp edges; also taken by sweeping marsh vegetation (Klimaszewski et al. 2008b, 2021).

Material. USA, New Hampshire, Coos Co.: Mt. Washington, Lake of the Clouds, 5000’, 10.IX.1987, A. Smetana (CNC), 1 female. Strafford Co.: Spruce Hole, 3 mi SW Durham, 11–18.VI.1987, D.S. Chandler, FIT, 1 female.
