Goater (1986) teilt mit: Introduced with water plants from the U.S.A. to aquatic greenhouses at Enfield, and the first to be recorded there. Endemic to the United States, from Texas to Florida and the eastern states, and introduced to the Hawaiian Islands. There is some evidence that it can spread from greenhouse to greenhouse in Britain, but none so far that it can survive in the wild." In der Fauna Europaea (Fauna Europaea Web Service. Last update 22 December 2009. Version 2.1. Available online at [http://fauna.naturkundemuseum-berlin.de]) ist dazu zu lesen: "We consider the record of the American Elophila obliteralis (Walker, 1859), from Great Britain (Shaffer, M. 1968) as a case of accidental introduction."
Agassiz et al. (2013: 112) führen die Art bei den "adventive species" und schreiben zu England: "Occasionally imported with aquatic plants, only survives in heated greenhouses. Nearctic."
