Notes: Elven and Murray: Carlson (2007) mapped Pseudoroegneria spicata only north to the southern Yukon Territory but his map is not complete. The species is frequent north to the central parts of the Yukon Territory and to the southern and central parts of Alaska. Cody (1996) mapped one arctic locality for it in the Yukon Territory. There are other, more southern races.
