Comments
Two additional Amischa morphotypes were recognized in the Yukon material on the basis of external body characters and the shape of the spermatheca. They are not included in this account because they are difficult to associate with any of the recorded species. The first morphospecies is represented by three narrowly elongate bicoloured specimens with the head and 4–5 basal abdominal tergites almost black, with the pronotum brown and the appendages and posterior of the elytra light brown, and with the spermathecal capsule moderately elongate with a moderately long apical invagination. The second morphospecies is represented by three specimens, which are broader, with the body uniformly dark brown to almost black, and the spermathecal capsule broader and shorter apically and with a longer apical invagination. Both groups have the apex of tergite 8 deeply notched. We need more specimens and representatives of both sexes to establish the status of these morphotypes.
