Entomobrya erratica Brown 1932

Description

E. erratica Brown, 1932

Entomobrya erratica Brown, 1932: 336

AK Christiansen & Bellinger 1980, 1998; Skidmore 1995; Babenko & Fjellberg 2006

NT Rusek 1994; Skidmore 1995

NU Brown 1932; Davis 1936; Mills & Richards 1953; Christiansen & Bellinger 1980, 1998; Danks 1981 as kincaidi; Babenko 1993 as comparata; Babenko & Fjellberg 2006

QC Skidmore 1995

Remarks: Christiansen (1958) was the first author to consider this species as a probable synonym of E. kincaidi, and for a long time this remained the dominant opinion; later it was proved incorrect and E. erratica was upheld. Skidmore’s record (1995) of this arctic species for QC may be erroneous because it is probably based on Christiansen’s description (1958, p. 484) of original locality of erratica as “Quebec: Hudson Strait (Akpatok Island)”. Akpatok Island is now part of NU.

General distribution: Nearctic and Eastern Palaearctic (Wrangel Island).
