J. Pages, A CANADIAN EVALLJAPYGIDAE (DIPLURA) - EVA LLJAPYX-SAUNDERSI N-SP DICELLURATA GENAVENSIA .21., Revue Suisse de Zoologie, 103(2), 1996, pp. 355-367
Evalljapyx saundersi n. sp. is described, based on an adult male from
Vancouver (B.C.). The E. sonoranus Silv. (= hubbardi [Cook]) recorded
from Vancouver Island by SAUNDERS (1946) is certainly a missidentifica
tion, hubbardi beeing localized in Arizona and all the other species o
f Evalljapyx are until now only known from the South-Western States of
USA, the Equator and some Caribbean Islands. The author is convinced
that SAUNDERS' specimen belong to the new species which is close to E.
ombris Smith from California. Four chetotaxic patterns are proposed f
or the seven first abdominal segments.
