Distribution
|
The
native range of this species is restricted to the native range of its
hostplant the honey locust Gleditsia triacanthos in the eastern USA.
However, this tree species is a popular ornamental plant and has been
introduced elsewhere. Consequently, the range of Penestragania apicalis
now comprises the eastern and central USA, south-eastern Canada, France,
Germany, Switzerland and Austria (see Nickel et al. 2013 for current distribution maps).
In Germany the species has been recorded in Baden-Württemberg,
Niedersachsen, Brandenburg, Berlin, Thüringen and Sachsen, but only in
cities where the host plant is used as ornamental tree along city
streets and in parks and botanical gardens.
