The distribution range of Ectobius lapponicus includes Europe, Northern Asia (excluding China), the northeastern United States, and southeastern Canada. Once thought to have emerged in Europe, recent discoveries[1] indicate the genus originated in North America. The first recorded sightings in North America were in 1984.[2][3][4]
