Distribution.

This species is adventive in North America where it is known from Randolph County in North Carolina (Peter W. Messer pers. comm. 2012), Aiken County in South Carolina (Peter W. Messer pers. comm. 2011), Telfair and Jeff Davis Counties in southern Georgia (Harry J. Lee, Jr. pers. comm. 2010), Broward County in Florida (Peck and Thomas 1998: 25), Polk and Garland Counties in Arkansas (CMNH), and Santa Cruz County in southern Arizona (Ober and Maddison 2008: 30, as Somotrichus elevatus ). The record from Seattle, Washington (Hatch 1953: 153) is based on specimens inte rcepted in nuts from Brazil; that from “Texas” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 270) needs confirmation.
