Metaphire hilgendorfi ( Michaelsen, 1892) : New state record

Clarke Co.: (4) near Sandy Creek Nature Center, in privet removal plots, 33.9853°N, 83.3795°W, Fall 2010, Coll: Joshua W. Lobe GoogleMaps .

Previously recorded: N/A. This Asian species is widely distributed in the eastern US ( Chang et al. 2016).

Remarks. Metaphire hilgendorfi was first mentioned by Lobe et al. (2014) without locality data, but we include this in our counts of new state and county records. Unfortunately, these specimens were not deposited in a museum and have likely been lost.
