Comments: The global classification of Melita nitida assumes it is native to the NWA (Chapman, 2007). However, M.<br />

nitida is "indistinguishable from the Asian Melita setiflagellata" (Chapman, 2007), and Doi et al. (2011) list it as<br />

cryptogenic in the NWP. Because of this uncertainty, we list it as cryptogenic in the NWP, using the distribution for<br />

M. setiflagellata.<br />
