This treatment of the Lauxaniidae occurring in a somewhat limited faunal area is offered as an introduction to a more extensive study of the group which I hope to undertake before very long. It is based on material in a number of private and institutional collections that have been available to me as well as on my own material collected during the last three summers at Abbotsford, Quebec. The list of species at the end of the paper includes all the available data on their distribution in Canada.
