Range. Eastern North America from the Rio Grande to Nova 

 Scotia, west to Nebraska, north to the Saskatchewan. Lake Superior 

 to the Saskatchewan (Richardson); Lake of the Woods, Manitoba, 

 (rare, Hanham). 



It is not unlikely that the extension of the range of this species as 

 far north as the Saskatchewan is unwarranted, so many of the data in 

 Sowerby's list, in Richardson, seem erroneous, but the presence of the 

 species in the Lake of the Woods seems authentic.
