Oribella castanea ( Hermann, 1804)

Original name: Notaspis castaneus Hermann, 1804 ( Hammer 1946)

Combination: Banksinoma castanea ( Hermann, 1804) ; ( Hammer 1969).

Geographic Location: AK: Anchorage ( Hammer 1955a).

Habitat: Wood, lichen, grass.

Distribution: Holarctic.

Remarks: Marshall et al. (1987) considered the status of Notaspis castanea Hermann, 1804 as uncertain, but Grandjean (1950) thought it was likely Phauloppia lucorum (C.L. Koch, 1841) . Most Canadian and Alaskan records may be for Banksinoma lanceolata ( Michael, 1885) . Thus, records of Oribella castanea of Behan (1978a), Behan et al. (1978) and Bird & Chatarpaul (1986) have been moved to Banksinoma lanceolata ( Michael, 1885) .

Genus Pantelozetes Grandjean, 1953 (= Gemmazetes )
