A gap in the data is making this species appear vulnerable, when there is no indication that this is the case. Gaps in the taxonomic record do not represent real gaps and likely reflect a lack of collection effort rather than real rarity. This species’ distribution is extensive in Western Canada, extending from Churchill (Manitoba) to Dawson (Yukon Territory). Although there are gaps in the data (only three records from NT), because these records are northern, it more than likely due to the difficulty of accessing northern site. A conservative assessment would put this species at secure to apparently secure, since although there is no indication that this species is under any threat, it is possible.
