Endemic to 5 northern Utah counties, 4 along the Wasatch Front and Box Elder County (known from the Wasatch Mountains, from Stansbury Island in the Great Salt Lake, and from the Newfoundland Mountains west of the Lake). Has a broad altitudinal distribution and is often observed to be locally abundant. [A Duchesne County location (the potential sixth county) is being reexamined. Possibly this specimen is of the recently named E. huberi, type location only 18 miles to the east.]
Range Extent Comments
Based on mapped EOs with three EOs from 65 to 148 kilometers disjunct east or west of center of main population.
Occurrences Comments
EOs are collection based.
