A NEW SUBSPECIES, NEPHROTOMA LUNDBECKI ALEXANDERI , DESCRIBED FROM SOUTH OF THE MAXIMUM EXTENT OF THE LAURENTIDE ICE AND NEW DISTRIBUTION RECORDS FOR OTHER NEARCTIC NEPHROTOMA (DIPTERA: TIPULIDAE)

Abstract Subspeciation in the circumpolar Nephrotoma lundbecki is discussed for a population from south of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, described here as N . l . alexanderi . For 18 nearctic Nephrotoma species new distribution records are presented, mainly from the northern Nearctic, adding considerabl...

Description
Summary:Abstract Subspeciation in the circumpolar Nephrotoma lundbecki is discussed for a population from south of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, described here as N . l . alexanderi . For 18 nearctic Nephrotoma species new distribution records are presented, mainly from the northern Nearctic, adding considerably to our knowledge of the distribution of these species. Included is the second nearctic record of the palaearctic species Nephrotoma cornicina (L.).
