Eremochrysa punctinervis occurs in Canada, in British Columbia. All Canadian localities reported in literature have been authenticated. All specimens reported here are documented with data in Garland (1982 [1984]), or as new records (above). Based on label data, adults come to light. This is one of five species of Chrysopidae that have been designated as potentially rare and endangered in British Columbia (Scudder 1994).
