Abstract
The gibbulus Group of the genus Anotylus is diagnosed and the grounds for believing the group to be monophyletic discussed. The habits and present‐day relictual distribution of this Old World group are summarized. Anotylus gibbulus (Eppelsheim) is reported from Eastern Siberia (the first record from beyond the area of the Caucasus), and is reported as a fossil from Toronto, Canada (c. 120,000 years B.P.). These findings, together with previous sub‐fossil records of the species from the British Isles, indicate a drastic contraction in range during the last (Wisconsinan/Devensian) stadial.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
