KEY TO SYMBOLS AND CATEGORIES

#, potentially rare and endangered (Scudder 1994)

##, additional candidates for potentially rare and endangered status based on Blades and Maier (1996) or this study.

*introduced: Introduced by humans from Europe; in association with various plant taxa in various habitats; some with broad host plant ranges.

**Holarctic in distribution; native in North America.

?: Uncertainty over categorization. In general this indicates not enough is known about the species to be sure of the placement. In most instances, these species are in difficult or recently unstudied taxonomic groups. Some are known only known from type series.
