Shelley, Rowland M., Phillips, Gary J. & Bernard, Ernest C., 2014, A third species of the endemic Floridian milliped genus Floridobolus Causey, 1957 (Spirobolida: Spirobolidae: Floridobolinae), Insecta Mundi 2014 (399), pp. 1-8 : 2

Component. Floridobolus Causey, 1957 .

Distribution ( Fig. 1 ). Endemic to a latitudinal distance of approximately 248 km (155 mi) in peninsular Florida, where it is known from “Big Scrub” habitats in sand ridges in Citrus / Hernando, Marion, and Highlands/Polk Cos.

Remarks. Females of F. orini are not available, but we assume that the similar cyphopodal configurations in F. penneri and F. floydi ( Keeton 1959, herein) depict the general pattern for both the tribe and genus.
