Originally the native range for this extended from around the Twin Cities in Minnesota and the Upper Mississippi, and went all the way downstream to the Gulf of Mexico. Then in 1913, a dam was built on the Mississippi River at Keokuk, Iowa cutting off the northern home range for breeding ebonyshells.[7]
Taxonomyedit
The species was once in the genus Fusconaia but is currently in Reginaia.[1]
Occurrenceedit
It has been found in states like Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia and Oklahoma.[1]
Conservationedit
In Minnesota pollution and dams have been a cause for its decline.[6]
