Global Range
G - 200,000-2,500,000 square km (about 80,000-1,000,000 square miles) - G - population (Snake River population): Fossil records show this species to be a relict from the late Pliocene, and a Lake Idaho endemic, which used to cover most of southern Idaho. Historically was collected from ten localities along the Snake River but formerly reduced to a few sites in the mainstem of the Snake River (USFWS, 1992; 1995) and in reservoirs on the river itself. Currently many more populations found and widespread and abundant (USFWS, 2006).
