Abstract:

The Northern Rockies Ecoregion in the United States occurs in portions of three states in the American northeast. There are 14 species found here in 9 genera and one family (Lumbricidae). One of the species (Bimastos beddardi) is native (endemic) to North America; all others are European (exotic) introductions. A description of the ecoregion and four color photographs are also included.
