Literature: Mohrig et al. (2013): 176.

New material [additional to Mohrig et al. (2013)]: 2 males, 27.vii.‒15.ix.1994, Canada, Alberta, Munn Creek , 53.30°N, 118.10°W, spruce forest, Malaise trap, leg. E. Fuller ( PWMP). GoogleMaps

Comments. The species is very similar to Cam. delicata (Lengersdorf, 1935) , but easily to distinguish by two (seldom one) sub-apical spines, directed distinctly towards the apex, not towards the base as in Cam. delicata . This character seems to be typical for all specimens which have been found in Canada and in Norway so far.

Distribution. Holarctic. Europe (Spitsbergen); Canada (Yukon, Alberta).
