Discussion. The majority of specimens in the type series of this recently described species were collected in Wicomico Co., Maryland, but, also included were four Florida paratypes, a female from Highlands Co., and two females and a male from Wakulla Co. Swanson and Grogan (2008) recorded a female from South Carolina, Borkent and Grogan (2009) recorded it from North Carolina, and it was also recently collected in extreme southwestern Alabama (D. Swanson, personal communication). We provide additional records from Highlands Co., Florida.
