Discussion. In his original description, Downes (1976) designated paratypes of this common eastern Nearctic species from Alachua, Bradford, Franklin, Gulf, Liberty, Orange, Putnam and Santa Rosa counties in Florida. Wilkening et al. (1985) also listed this species from Escambia Co. We provide the first records from Highlands and Wakulla counties.
