Trhypochthoniellus setosus subsp. canadensis Hammer 1952

Description

Trhypochthoniellus setosus canadensis Hammer, 1952

Geographic Location: AK: Brooks Range (Behan 1978a); YT: Ogilvie Mtns (Behan-Pelletier 1997b); NT:

Yellowknife (Hammer 1952a); peatlands (Behan-Pelletier & Bissett 1994); AB: peatlands (Behan-Pelletier & Bissett 1994); Wagner Natural Area, 8km W Edmonton, 53°34’N, 113°47’W (Finnamore 1994); ABMI Sites; Moose Pasture Research Site; Lake Wabamun (Walter et al. 2014); NB: peatlands (Behan-Pelletier & Bissett 1994); NS: Sable Is. (Majka et al. 2007); NL: peatlands (Behan-Pelletier & Bissett 1994).

Habitats: Peatlands; moss along lake margins.

Distribution: Nearctic.

Remarks: Weigmann (1999) considered Trhypochthoniellus longisetus to be polymorphic in Europe and proposed T. trichosus (Schweizer) and T. setosus Willmann as junior synonyms. Subías (2004) recombined T. setosus canadensis as T. longisetus canadensis. We retain T. setosus canadensis herein as North American specimens have not been the subject of morphometric analysis.

Genus Trhypochthonius Berlese, 1904
