Komarekionidae Gates, 1974

There is only one species in this monogeneric Nearctic family: Komarekiona eatoni Gates. It is found only in the mid-Atlantic states west to southern Illinois, USA (Gates 1974; Reynolds 2020). Interestingly, the specimens east of the Smoky Mountains are amphimictic while those west of the Smokies are parthenogenetic (Reynolds 2020).
