2n= 12 (2x). - Alaska. - Murray and Kelso (1997).

Geography: American Beringian: (ALA).

Notes: Ermania parryoides nested well within the Smelowskia clade in the analyses of Warwick et al. (2003a) and Carlsen et al. (2010), together with S. calycina, and we accept it as a Smelowskia. Morphologically, S. parryoides seems closer to the Melanidion group than to the S. calycina group.
