Elodes is a characteristic species of the humid portions of the 

 Transition and Upper Austral life zones. The records from the Boreal 

 (Canadian) life zone are few in number. This paucity of records is 

 doubtless due to the mixing of elodes with palustris or reflexa. With 

 the exception of a few records from the Nova Scotian region, elodes 

 is confined to the Canadian and Upper Mississippian regions, and to 

 the drainage areas of the St. Lawrence and Mississippi rivers.
