Distributional notes. Cliorismia bussi is a northern species, as yet unknown in British Columbia, but common in the southern Yukon from Kluane Lake and Carcross east to Ross River and north to Mayo. It probably ranges farther north as it occurs at Reindeer Depot in the Northwest Territories. The type locality is near Burwash Landing, Yukon ( Webb et al. 2013). Cliorismia bussi is also found in Alaska.
