Note.

Lebia floricola , credited to Harris, has been cited as a synonym of this species, first by LeConte (1846b: 195), on the basis that the name was published in the "N[ew] E[ngland] Farmer." I have not found any publication of Harris citing such a name. The name is a nomen nudum as mentioned by Madge (1967: 216).
