Distribution

Distribution

General, reliable, distribution is considered to include the northwestern Nearctic (Alaska) and eastern Palearctic (see Potapov et al. 2018). Records in Canada include Yukon, the NWT, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, and Newfoundland. However, at least some of the above records, especially those outside the Arctic, need verification (Babenko et al. 2019). Reference: Babenko, A., Stebaeva, S., & Turnbull, M.S. 2019. An updated checklist of Canadian and Alaskan Collembola. Zootaxa 4592(1): 001-125.
