Prószynski (1968c) reports that the species, a member of what he calls the terebratus group (S. terebratus, S. fasciger, and S. finschi), is native to both the Palearctic and Nearctic regions. The Siberian records are from locations "at or behind" the Arctic Circle. Prószynski cites W. J. Gertsch, in a private letter, as commenting that the species "is quite uncommon in North America, but widely distributed from New England to Alasca". Specimens have been collected in Edmonton, Alberta and Itasca Park, Minnesota, as well as Yellowstone, in Wyoming.
