Comments

This species was described by Heinrich (1962b, p. 764) with an original distribution confined to the north-western part of South Carolina (Tigerville). Later on, Porter (2003, p. 178) reported the species for northern Florida, based on 10 females and 73 males, making it the southernmost record for the species. DDP examined the material housed at the FSCA that Porter (2003) identified as Cyclolabus carolinensis . The specimens do not belong to Cyclolabus but are in fact Neolinycus michaelis Heinrich, 1971, which is newly recorded for Florida in this paper (see under Neolinycus).

Carlson (1979, p. 543) reported the species for Michigan, without providing any depositories or indications for the specimen he examined. Yu et al. (2016) did not report the species for Michigan.
