Moved
Moved from Spiders. Perhaps, though I'm not sure how to be certain. Males are trickier than females.

T. asiaticus: Alaska to Ontario, southward to Utah.
T. chamberlini: British Columbia southward to California and Arizona.
T. maritimus: Alaska to Newfoundland, southward to Utah and New England (also Europe & Asia).(1)
T. oblongus: Alaska to Nova Scotia, southward to Mexico (also Europe, Asia, & North Africa).(1)
T. rothi: California & Arizona.(2)

Thanks again Lynette!
I really appreciate your help, and comments, for my spiders. Someday I plan on sending my spider specimens to the DNA folks at BOLD. It is a slow process, however, in the midst of all the other stuff of life. I am currently working on Diptera and Beetles. After the insect orders then the spiders. The results with moths have been impressive.

Also thank you for your compliment on my website, via previous spider post. That was an intended goal - a "go to guide" for folks! : )

Bold
That will be great. Then we can change these images to voucher specimens.
