Bezzia (Bezzia) laciniastyla Dow and Turner View in CoL

Bezzia (Pseudobezzia) laciniastyla Dow and Turner, 1976: 42 (Florida) View in CoL .

Bezzia (Bezzia) laciniastyla: Wilkening et al. 1985: 529 View in CoL (Florida records); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 26 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. All specimens in the type series were from Glades Co., Florida and Georgetown Co., South Carolina ( Dow and Turner 1976). Wilkening et al. (1985) also recorded this species from Alachua and Wakulla counties. However, as noted by Dow and Turner (1976), the material they studied included a complex of at least two undescribed species and these will be addressed in a study in progress by WLG.
