Occurrences Comments

Baxter (1987) cites occurrences of Pupilla muscorum in Alaska in the Aleutian Islands with potential occurrences in the North Gulf Coast and southwestern Alaska but these are likely misidentifications for Pupilla hebes. Forsyth (2006) recently (2004) found it at Lac des Arcs in the Rocky Mountain Foothills of Alberta and also in northwestern British Columbia (Forsyth, 2004) near Good Hope Lake and north of Atlin (Forsyth, 2004- additions and corrections). It was recently documented in 1 of 82 soil samples and 6 area spot searches of Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, in 2002 (Anderson, 2005).
