E. zona

is that species known to exist east of the rocky mountains? Specifically the front range of Colorado?

… Jared Shorma, 8 March, 2018 - 10:18am

It is a high mountain species

Originally found in 1980 in Wyoming at 10.000 feet. Later also recorded from California, Colorado (Gunnison Co., Gothic at 9600 feet), New Mexico.
Quite a rare species. Only 2 publications : 1980 and 1998.
