Contributor Bnewell in a Troutnut blog on July 18th, 2012 made the following comments,

This stonefly is one that is fairly common in higher altitude lakes, especially in western North America. I have collected it in higher lakes in Glacier National Park, Montana. Dick Baumann tells me that in a recent publication this stonefly has been renamed Skwala compacta.

Where & When
