Astylopsis fascipennis Schiefer View in CoL

Charleston Co., West Ashley , Carolina Bay Drive , 15 May 2012, beaten from cut miscellaneous hardwoods, 1 specimen, coll. R. M. Gemmill, K. Carman.

Charleston Co., Meggett , Roxbury Park , 8 June 2016, beaten from Liquidambar styraciflua L. ( Altingiaceae ) branches, 1 specimen, coll. R. M. Gemmill, K. Carman .

This sixth species of Astylopsis (previously Amniscus ) was described only in 2000, and little is known of its biology. Specimens have been beaten from dead Ulmus (Ulmaceae) and Liquidambar limbs, which fits with the specimens reported here (from branches of L. styraciflua ). Schiefer listed specimens from Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, but not from South Carolina. Thus, the discovery of A. fascipennis in South Carolina is not surprising and serves to verify its distribution across the southeast U.S.
