Status:

Maryland's small, relictual population appears to have been extirpated from its small range in Garrett Co. during 1956 and 1957. The draining of Lake Koshare (near Snaggy Mountain Road) removed a pristine, isolated, cool water holdout for the species.

There are 7 records in the project database.
