description
NT Hammer 1953 as oreadis; Christiansen & Bellinger 1980, 1998; Skidmore 1995; Babenko & Fjellberg 2006 BC Battigelli & Marshall 1993; Setälä & Marshall 1994; Rusek & Marshall 1995; Setälä et al. 1995; Skidmore 1995; Cannings 2010 MB Hammer 1953 as oreadis; Skidmore 1995 Remarks: The majority (if not all) of the above records are based on Christiansen & Bellinger’s remark (1980, p. 451) that “ extensive comparison of Nearctic specimens of O. oreadis (including the types), with specimens in Dr. Yosii’s collection identified as O. flavescens, show these species to be inseparable, in spite of minor differences from the descriptions by Yosii ”. In fact, O. oreadis appears to be a senior synonym of Leeonychiurus mai (Wray) (Bernard 2015). Species of the modern genus Allonychiurus do exist in the Nearctic but the presence of true A. flavescens there probably needs further confirmation. General distribution: uncertain.
