Remarks: Weigmann (1999) considered Trhypochthoniellus longisetus to be polymorphic in Europe and proposed T. trichosus (Schweizer) and T. setosus Willmann as junior synonyms. Subías (2004) recombined T. setosus canadensis as T. longisetus canadensis . We retain T. setosus canadensis herein as North American specimens have not been the subject of morphometric analysis.
