Material examined: CANADA, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES: syntype Yellowknife (62º40’N, 114°20’W) near Great Slave lake, ex small depression among rocks under spruce with moss, liverworts, lichens and old needles and leaves, M. Hammer. ALBERTA: 5 adults, Lamont County (53º39’N, 112°46’W) ex dry litter on SW slope, 20.vi 8i.2008, D.E. Walter; 1 adult, Edmonton River Valley, ex dry litter, 12.v.2009, S. Latonas; 1 adult, ABMI site 330 (57.66861725 N, - 110.962219 W), 2007; 1 adult, ABMI site 618 (56.38592148 N, - 117.012878 W), 2007.
Comments. In her description, Hammer (1952) said “Tectopedia I and II have stout points” (p. 29), but this appears to be a misinterpretation of the pedotecta as being linear. In fact, they are ear-shaped with rounded margins (e.g. Figs. 34, 36) as in all Gymnodamaeidae that I have seen except Pleodamaeus. She also missed the interlamellar setae that are covered in dense cerotegument and closely inserted on apophyses on the medial margins of the bothridia.
