Syntype(s) in MCZ [# 5860]. Note. LeConte (1852b: 65) stated that this and most of the other species from the expedition were collected "from the boundary of the tract of land ... set apart for the Creek Indians."

This species ranges from southeastern Nebraska (Lancaster County, Foster F. Purrington pers. comm. 2010) and central Missouri (Boone County, CMNH) south to Mississippi (CMNH), southwestern Louisiana (Hine 1906: 77), and southern Texas (Bell 1960: 151). The record from eastern South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 36) needs confirmation.
