Description
Summary:I have not found any records of this group of animals from Alaska or indeed from so far north. In the summer of 1930 I searched many localities throughout this region for these and similar animals of similar habitat. I did not find a single specimen of the insect genus Campodea or Japyx . I did not find the larger Symphyla at any time but a number of these small Pauropoda were found in five widely separated places. Two genera of the group were collected with three species in one and one in the other. Although there were some similarities between these four species and others collected to the southward, all were distinct.
