We improve estimates for the distribution of primitive λ-roots of a composite modulus q yielding an asymptotic formula for the number of primitive λ-roots in any interval Ⅰ of length |I| (>>) q1/2+∈. Similar results are obtained for the distribution of ordered pairs (x, x-1) with x a primitive λ-root, and for the number of primitive λ-roots satisfying inequalities such as |x -x-1| ≤ B.
