Diplocardia michaelseni Eisen, 1899: New state record

Clarke Co.: (1) House garden on Hill Street, Athens, 33.9591°N, 83.3971°W, Soil, E Wenk, 24 Nov 2011.

Previously recorded: N/ A. This species has a broad distribution in the southern US from North Carolina to Texas (Gates 1977).

Remarks. Diplocardia michaelseni was first mentioned (with a misspelling in the specific epithet) by Lobe et al. (2014) without locality data, but we include this record in our counts of new state and county records. Unfortunately, these specimens were not deposited in a museum and have likely been lost. Unpublished data from that study indicate that D. michaelseni was collected in Clarke and Greene Counties.
