Comments: Previous records of this species from Michigan ( McPherson 1970, Furth 1974) have been shown to be misidentifications of Holcostethus fulvipes ( Ruckes 1957c) ( McPherson 1979) . The record from New Brunswick ( Ward et al. 1977) needs confirmation. Froeschner (1988) also listed South Carolina, but we have not been able to locate this record; in any case, it would need verification.
