Georgia Basin Bog Spider was designated as Special Concern by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) in 2012. This semi-wetland spider has a limited distribution in North America, ranging in southwestern British Columbia and western Washington State. In Canada, the species is restricted to southwestern British Columbia and ranges in the lower mainland, southeastern Vancouver Island, and the southern Gulf Islands. Eight subpopulations occur in Canada, including one additional subpopulation since the 2012 COSEWIC status assessment.
