Material studied. USA, Alaska, 11 mi S Anderson Jct, Rte 3, mi 270, forest (alder, poplar, spruce), Malaise trap, 23.VI–11.VIII.1984, S. & J. Peck, 1 male (in MZH, http://id.luomus.fi/GE.1803) .

BIN. BOLD:ACC1227.

Remarks. New for the Nearctic region. On BOLD, there are currently registered 50 specimens with four public BINs: 5 with the ID code BOLD:ACC1227 ( Germany, Finland), 35 specimens with BOLD:ACG8695 ( Canada, Finland), 9 with BOLD:ACG4621 ( Belarus, Germany, Norway), and one single female in poor condition from Bulgaria with BOLD:ACP4988 (not verifiable without a male).

Certainly, there may be more species in their morphology very similar to Lycoriella lundstromi (Frey) , lacking the intergonocoxal lobe or seta groups.
