Type material. Holotype ,, “ R[hode].I[sland].[According to Casey Locality Code ( Buchanan 1935; FitzGerald 1962) the black dot inside the upper part of the letter “R” stands for Casey farm, Boston Neck, N. Kingston]”, “ Sipaliella filaria Csy. ”, “Casey bequest 1925”, “ TYPE USNM 39031” ( NMNH).

Additional material. UNITED STATES: New Jersey: Warren Co.:, 24 km NW Hackettstown, Dunnfield Creek National Area, 40°58.33'N 75°07.49'W, 20 m (V. Gusarov), 5.iv.1999 ( SPSU).

Discussion. The holotype of S. filaria completely corresponds to European specimens of M. pallens and redescription by Muona (1991). Apparently this species has been introduced from Europe.
