Distribution

Distribution

Only one locality record is mentioned from the Northwest Territories in Griffiths (1984a) in the Mackenzie Delta. However, this species has a widespread distribution in Canada, in boreal areas and the low arctic (Griffiths 1984a, 1997) so its distribution could be more extensive in the territory. Based on current information, it is difficult to estimate the range extent of this species.
