The range of this western species extends from Vancouver Island (Lindroth 1963b: 323) to western Montana (Russell 1968: 53; Edwards 1975: 53), north to central British Columbia (Lindroth 1963b: 323), south to southern California (Hayward 1897: 79; Fall 1901a: 42; Moore 1937: 6). The record from "New Mexico" (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 136) is probably in error.
