Description
Summary:In Canada and Its Insect Fauna , Scheller (1979) reported that no species of Pauropoda have been discovered in Canada. However, Hilton (1931) reported collecting “about” 10 specimens of Stylopauropus dawsoni near Dawson in the Yukon Territories. Scheller (1981, pers. comm.) discounts this report because the specimens have since been lost. Pauropods have been recorded from several border states including New York (Hilton 1930), Alaska (Hilton 1931), Michigan (Remy 1954), and Ohio (Williams and Hefner 1928). Starling (1943) reviewed early American records of Pauropoda.
