Distribution in Canada and Alaska
MB, NB, NS, PE (McNamara 1991[1]; Majka and Jackman 2006[2]). Majka and Jackman (2006)[2] reported this species as newly recorded for New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island in Table 1 of their list of species of the Maritime provinces but inadvertently included no supporting data for the New Brunswick record. Here, we include this record and additional records that establish the presence of this species for New Brunswick.
