C. brevis (Christiansen & Bellinger, 1980) – Hypogastrura ( Ceratophysella ) brevis Christiansen & Bellinger, 1980: 155 AK Fjellberg 1985, cf.; Skidmore 1995 ON Skidmore 1995 Remarks: As stated by Fjellberg (1985, p. 43), these records “belong to a complex with several Nearctic forms/species, both described and undescribed, which are all poorly known and distinguished by rather small and dubious characters”. Babenko & Fjellberg (2006) speculate that some of these forms, northern ones in particular, may be conspecific with C. czelnokovi , a widespread and highly variable East Palaearctic species (see also Babenko et al. 2017). General distribution: Nearctic. : Published as part of Babenko, Anatoly, Stebaeva, Sophya & Turnbull, Matthew S., 2019, An updated checklist of Canadian and Alaskan Collembola, pp. 1-125 in Zootaxa 4592 (1) on page 16, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4592.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/2656929 : {"references": ["Christiansen, K. & Bellinger, P.
