Comments .

With just two specimens collected, Anthrax pauper appears to be a rare species in this region. This population is the most southern recorded of this species, mostly present in the center and east of the USA. Presumably adapted to colder climates, it is no coincidence that it was collected in the most elevated site sampled.
