Remarks
- Biology: In Ontario, Canada this species is parthenogenetic (Phillips, 1965a). Phillips (1965a) provided biological and behavioural parameters to separate this species from P. putmani.
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female and first-instar nymph by Richards (1958). Good description of male test by Phillips (1965).
