H. promatro Wray, 1950

– Hypogastrura promatro Wray, 1950: 94

– Hypogastrura utahensis Wray, 1953: 4

BC Christiansen & Bellinger 1980, 1998; Skidmore 1995; Cannings 2010 all as utahensis

Remarks: According to Bernard (2015, p. 319), who redescribed the species based on Wray’s types and sunk utahensis into promatro, “specimens of H. utahensis from British Columbia (Christiansen & Bellinger 1980, 1998) need to be reevaluated to establish their identity”. Bernard (2015) also highlighted that “the two species (Nearctic promatro and Palaearctic vernalis) are very similar and H. promatro could be a junior synonym of H. vernalis ”.

General distribution: Nearctic.
