Comments. This genus is unrevised in North America. Consequently a specific determination of the species awaits a revision of the genus. Pending revision, the species is referred to by the manuscript name of Pteryx NEA species 7. The genus is newly recorded in Nova Scotia, the Maritime Provinces, and Canada as a whole. Some species of Pteryx are polymorphic with both normal and vestigial morphs ( Hall 2000).
