GD: Eastern United States, Cuba, Puerto Rico (first record), Central and South America ( LaBerge and Ribble, 1966; Urban, 1970).
New record: PUERTO RICO, Toa Baja, 2.viii.1984, coll. J. A. Torres (1 female, MNHNCu); Real Anón, Coto Laurel , Ponce, v.1994, coll. J. A. Genaro (1 female, MNHNCu) .
Cockerell (1906), LaBerge and Ribble (1966), and Moure and Michener (1955) considered F. condignus and F. lanierii as the same species, but Urban (1970) and Moure et al. (2007) treated them as separate species without explanation.
This species is variable according to pubescence color ( LaBerge and Ribble, 1966). The female specimens from Puerto Rico have white hairs at the base of first metasomal tergum while Cuban females have black and white hairs.
