Remarks. Cladotanytarsus gedanicus is now for the first time recorded from the Nearctic region, although its wide range in the Holarctic was previously indicated (Giłka 2011a). This species is distributed across North America, from Nunavut and Manitoba in the north through Colorado to New Mexico in the south. It has so far been reported from Europe (Poland, Finland, Sweden) and the Russian Far East (Makarchenko et al. 2005, Yavorskaya et al. 2017); however, the records from Asia require confirmation. The data on C. gedanicus from Norway by Giłka (2009) pertain to C. saetheri. For ecology and seasonal dynamics of C. gedanicus in Poland see Giłka (2001, 2002, 2009).
