Abstract
The first endemic species of Camillidae are described from the New Wor ld and the Nearctic Region. Three new species are described: Afrocamil la arizona (south-eastern Arizona); A. bispinosa (southern California) ; and Camilla arnaudi (Baja California, Mexico). All species are illus trated and a key to the endemic Nearctic species of Camillidae is pres ented. Camilla glabra (Fallen, 1823), previously introduced to Canada from Europe, is Likely to be no longer extant in the Nearctic Region. The biology of Camillidae is briefly reviewed.
