Teratocephalus terrestris
(Butschli, 1873) de Man, 1876
This species is immediately distinguished by its
small size, coarsely striated cuticle and long filiform tail with its arcuate
terminus. The head with its cutinous framework is an especially prominent
feature.
This is one of the most widely distributed
species in the western mountains but occurs only in small numbers.
Two specimens appeared in this collection.
