Remarks: The Canadian records for AB are based on the distribution localities given in the original description.
Christiansen & Bellinger (1980
, p. 851) wrote later, “the only certain record of this species is from the
type
locality [
North Carolina
,
USA
], but
2 specimens
from
Canada
may belong here. One from Banff,
Alberta
, is similar in all features seen except the chaetotaxy of the second abdominal segment. The second is from Churchill,
Manitoba
, the
type
locality of
E. lateropicta
”. They also suggested the possibility that the latter species may be a senior synonym of
E. gisini
, rather than of
E. comparata
as supposed earlier. Thus a rather high level of uncertainty still exists.
General distribution: Nearctic.
