Native to the Nearctic region. Previously recorded at least from Indiana, New York, North Carolina, and Ohio in the United States ( Liljeblad 1945 ; Downie and Arnett 1996 ). Canadian records. Ontario: Point Pelee National Park, 27-Jun-2012 to 04-Jul-2012 (5 exx, CBG). Diagnostic information. See Liljeblad (1945) . Bionomic notes. The Canadian specimens were collected with a Malaise trap in a savanna with Opuntia cacti and sparse woody vegetation. Comments. The coloration and the ridges of the hind legs of the Canadian specimens match both the Liljeblad (1945) diagnosis and the photographs of LeConte's type specimen in the type database of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. Therefore, we consider this record reliable despite the lack of a modern revision of the North American Mordellistena .
