tricostate, densely setose, intervals each with
a row of small tubercles. Apices in males
rounded, females with apex attenuate (Figs.
31-32).
Distribution. Thanatophilus lapponicus
ranges broadly throughout Canada and
Alaska, across the northern United States
from coast to coast, and south to southern
California, Arizona, and New Mexico (Anderson
and Peck 1985, Peck and Kaulbars
1987). It is also found in northern Europe
and Asia (Hatch 1928, Schawaller 1981).
In Nebraska, this species probably occurs
statewide although it is more abundant in
the north and west.
