Global Range
Pleuroziopsis ruthenica is found in northwestern British Columbia, Vancouver Island, Queen Charlotte Islands, southern Alaska, Aleutian Islands, eastern Asia (Ireland 1968). Lawton (1971) cites the species from Washington (Seattle area). Schofield (pers. comm. Jan 2001) comments that the Vancouver Island, and Washington occurrences are doubtful. It is possible that the label information is erroneous since the collectors also conducted fieldwork farther north, within the range of the species. Also, the southern stations are well south of the main range of the species.
