Casey (1889), Downie and Arnett (1996), and Hatch (1957) provide keys to some species, but the accuracy of these keys is unknown. Range: throughout North America. Habitat: moist habitats such as wet debris near streams and ponds, others in leaf litter. Collection Method: sifting/Berlese forest litter. Biology: unknown. Present Study: significantly higher abundance in leaf litter, primary forest, and fall. References: Casey 1889 (as Trogophloeus Mannerheim ); Hatch 1957; Herman 1970; Downie and Arnett 1996; Newton et al. 2001.
