Octotemnus laevis
Casey, 1898
Previously recorded from
New Brunswick
and
Nova Scotia
(
McNamara 1991
) (
Fig. 4
).
Lawrence (1971)
and Lawrence &
Thayer (2002)
both pointed out that
O. laevis
may be conspecific with the Palearctic
Octotemnus glabriculus
(Gyllenhal)
. If this is so, given the very broad distribution of this species in North
America (
Lawrence 1982
)
, it would appear to be a Holarctic species.
