Range: The Poweshiek Skipperling is known from only a very limited range, in just a few states west and south of the Great Lakes, and in a small area of southeastern Manitoba.
Remarks: This species has been reported from Canada in the past, but the early reports were all misidentified Garita Skipperlings.
In July 1985 it was found to be locally abundant near Vita, Stuartburn, and Gardenton in southeastern Manitoba (Catling and Lafontaine, 1986).
