Attus ammophilus Thorell, 1875

Remarks.

Attulus ammophilus is part of the species-rich distinguendus group that is otherwise unrepresented in North America. We have collected it from rocks on the ground in Ontario, British Columbia, and Utah, on litter among marsh plants along the edge of a lake in Siberia, and occasionally from buildings. It was introduced into North America during the 20th century ( Prószyński 1976, 1983).
