The Canadian record is based on Fjellberg’s remark (2007, p. 200) that he has “two specimens [from Kananaskis Valley, AB] tentatively identified as Sminthurinus intermedius Snider 1978 which clearly are Rusekianna ”. On www. collembola.org the species is treated as a member of the genus Polykatianna.
