| Summary: | Previous work is summarized, and breeding records from northern Canada are plotted on range maps. The data accumulated in two field seasons, and the results of a study of the collections of the Canadian Museum of Natural History, indicate a closer relationship between kumlieni and thayeri, than between thayeri and smithsonianus. Both kumlieni and thayeri are assigned to the species L. glaucoides Meyer, for which diagnostic characters are presented. [.] |
