Remarks: Despite numerous records of this species, the presence of true C. armata in Nearctic is still questionable. Christiansen & Bellinger (1980, p. 143) believed that “all Nearctic records [of C. armata ] are suspect”. Fjellberg (1985, p. 35) wrote that “I have compared specimens from Alaska and NE Siberia with material from Switzerland and France and find no sharp differences except in one important detail: European specimens have only one sublobal hair on maxillary lobe, whereas Alaskan/Siberian specimens have two like most other Ceratophysella with B chaetotaxy”. There is also a remark in Babenko & Fjellberg (2006, p. 9) that the authors “are not sure that specimens from eastern Palaearctic and Nearctic tundras are conspecific with European C. armata ”. It is highly probable that the majority of old records of the species, at least from the northern parts of Canada, may be just misidentifications of C. denticulata , as is the case for Greenland ( Fjellberg 2015).
General distribution: Holarctic, but not certain due to probable confusion with other congeners.
