Occurrences Comments

In Alberta, it is distributed south west of Calgary, north to Edmonton and Slave Lake (Lepitzki, 2001). A potential report by Forsyth (2004) for British Columbia has since been documented as a misidentification for Punctum randolphi. It was found recently in 2010 in Julian, San Diego Co., California (Pearce and Richart, 2010).
