Distribution.

This subspecies ranges from "Rhode Island" to east-central South Dakota (Ball 1959: 78), south to east-central Kansas (Snow 1880: 78; Ball 1959: 78), “Missouri” (Ball 1960b: 78), and New Jersey (Smith 1890: 82; Smith 1910: 206). The records from Louisiana (Summers 1874a: 80; Casey 1913: 148) and Alabama ( Löding 1945: 18) refer to subspecies melissisa; those from "North Dakota" (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 209) and north-central Colorado (Wickham 1902: 238) need confirmation.
