  Jochen Möhr photographed a Harvestman in Metchosin on October 4.  Dr Philip Bragg of UBC writes:  Your guess that the specimen might be Nelima is pretty good, but I think that it is more likely to be Leptobunus parvulus. The photograph is good but it does not show clearly important details e.g. that the palpal claw of Nelima is denticulate whereas in Leptobunus it is smooth. Thanks for sending it. (And thanks, Dr Bragg, for identifying it!)

 

Probably Leptobunus parvulus (Opiliones: Phalangiidae)  Jochen Möhr
