Rank ReasonsThis species has a good sized range in Alaska and extending into southwesternmost Yukon Territory and the northwestern corner of British Columbia. The collections data are spotty, leading to some concern over its status (the previous rank had been G3G4), but more populations exist than are documented. It can be quite common locally and there are no significant threats.
Range Extent CommentsIt occurs in Alaska (widely separated locations), and extending into southwesternmost Yukon Territory and the northwestern corner of British Columbia.
Occurrences CommentsIn Alaska, at a number of locations, besides the documented ones (R. Lipkin, pers. comm. 2006). In the Yukon it is "widespread and common in the extreme southwest corner of the territory and in Ivvavik National Park" (B. Bennet Yukon Element Tracking form, 2005). In British Columbia it is best described as infrequent, and is only found in extreme northwestern British Columbia; thereare 21 collections, with others surely expected (J. Penny, pers. comm. 2006).
