Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The genus Cordilura, as it occurs in the North American fauna, has never been given a thorough taxonomic treatment. Descriptions based on Nearctic material are isolated and inadequate; moreover, several European species occur in our region. Consequently, it has been very difficult to make satisfactory determinations with the previously existing literature.
