Distribution.

This subspecies ranges from Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 134) to Vancouver Island (Lindroth 1969a: 987), south at least to southwestern Oregon, southern Colorado along the Rocky Mountains (Bell 1960: 147), southeastern Louisiana (Saint Tammany Parish, Igor M. Sokolov pers. comm. 2009; Summers 1874a: 80), and southern Florida (Peck and Thomas 1998: 20). The record from southwestern California (Moore 1937: 12) is probably in error.
