Global Range: (>2,500,000 square km (greater than 1,000,000 square miles)) It occurs in Coastal, Cascades, Rocky, and Sierra Nevada Mountain Ranges of North America (Stewart and Oswood, 2006).

Habitat Type: Freshwater

Comments: Nymphs occur in swift flowing small streams (Stewart and Oswood, 2006).

Non-Migrant: No. All populations of this species make significant seasonal migrations.

Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make local extended movements (generally less than 200 km) at particular times of the year (e.g., to breeding or wintering grounds, to hibernation sites).

Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make annual migrations of over 200 km.

Note: For many non-migratory species, occurrences are roughly equivalent to populations.

Estimated Number of Occurrences: 81 - 300

Comments: Gaufin et al. (1972) cite Montana distribution as Flathead, Gallatin, Glacier, Granite, Lake, Lewis and Clark, Missoula, and Ravalli Cos. In California, Jewett (1960) cites Del Norte Co. Newell et al. (2006) report it from Glacier National Park and the Flathead River basin in western Montana. Jewett (1971) documented it in Alaska in One Mile Creek between Anchorage and Eagle east of Fairbanks. It is in several sites in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington (Kondratieff and Lechleitner, 2002).

Adults emerge from April to July in Montana (Gaufin et al., 1972).
