Rank Reasons

Endemic to northwestern Wyoming. There are 14 extant occurrences and the species has moderate intrinsic vulnerability.

Range Extent Comments

Endemic to Jackson Hole, the Absaroka and Gros Ventre ranges in Park, Sublette, and Teton counties, Wyoming.

Occurrences Comments

Known from 14 extant occurrences in Wyoming (last observed in 2003) and 2 historical records (most recent in 1932).
