Status Rank Description: 
Cited from the Great Bear Lake area of mainland NT (Steere 1977). Vouchers at NY have been annotated to M. hibernica. M. flotoviana has previously been reduced to an infraspecific level within M. hibernica, but recent studies (Crandall-Stotler & Stotle 2007) have defined the two taxa as separate species. The current specimens probably should be re-examined.
