Type locality: "Coupeville [Island County], Wash[ington]" (original citation). Holotype (♀) in USNM. Etymology. The specific name honors Robert Y. Pratt [1915-1999], a resident of Coupeville, on Whidbey Island, Washington. Pratt collected insects in the Pacific Northwest and left his collection of several thousand specimens, mostly beetles, to Au Sable-Pacific Rim. He also bequeathed 147 acres of his land to the Nature Conservancy. The reserve now safeguards a unique grassland ecosystem, including rare populations of golden paintbrush and brittle cactus, the only cactus native to western Washington. Distribution. This species is known only from the holotype collected in northwestern Washington. Records. USA : WA
