Entomobrya gisini Christiansen 1958

Description

E. gisini Christiansen, 1958

Entomobrya gisini Christiansen, 1958: 502

AB Christiansen 1958; Skidmore 1995; Lindo 2014

MB Aitchison 1979, 1984, 1984c; Skidmore 1995; Lindo 2014; Porco et al. 2014

Remarks: The Canadian records for AB are based on the distribution localities given in the original description. Christiansen & Bellinger (1980, p. 851) wrote later, “the only certain record of this species is from the type locality [North Carolina, USA], but 2 specimens from Canada may belong here. One from Banff, Alberta, is similar in all features seen except the chaetotaxy of the second abdominal segment. The second is from Churchill, Manitoba, the type locality of E. lateropicta ”. They also suggested the possibility that the latter species may be a senior synonym of E. gisini, rather than of E. comparata as supposed earlier. Thus a rather high level of uncertainty still exists.

General distribution: Nearctic.
