Distribution in Canada and Alaska.

ON, QC, NB ( Bousquet 1991). Ahasverus longulus was included in Bousquet’s (1991) checklist. However, no voucher specimens or published records could be found to support the record, and consequently, Makja (2008) removed the species from the faunal list of New Brunswick. In view of the above records, the species is re-instated to the faunal list of the province.
