Notes: Although treated as hypothetical for Massachusetts by Veit et al. (2022[“2021”]), soon after that checklist was published confirmation of its presence and persistence in that state was obtained through photos submitted to iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/88061067), suggesting that a prior specimen record (LaBerge 1956a) from the area was likely valid. Although there are no other records from elsewhere in the region north of southern New Jersey, the newly confirmed Massachusetts records suggest that this species likely achieved its apparently disjunct range by traversing Connecticut at some point .
