Remarks:
Christiansen (1958)
was the first author to consider this species as a probable synonym of
E. kincaidi
, and for a long time this remained the dominant opinion; later it was proved incorrect and
E. erratica
was upheld. Skidmore’s record (1995) of this arctic species for QC may be erroneous because it is probably based on Christiansen’s description (1958, p. 484) of original locality of
erratica
as “Quebec: Hudson Strait (Akpatok Island)”. Akpatok Island is now part of NU.
General distribution: Nearctic and Eastern Palaearctic (Wrangel Island).
