Panscopus impressus Pierce ( Fig. 17 )

Comments. This genus is in need of revision ( Anderson 2002). Buchanan (1936) designated a subspe- cies, Panscopus impressus thoracicus , but in light of the uncertainty of its validity specimens from this study are only identified to the species level. Range: central eastern United States, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia. Habitat: swept from weeds in low damp woods, leaf litter. Collection Method: sweep netting, sifting/Berlese litter. Biology: unknown. Present Study: significantly higher abundance in leaf litter, primary forest, and fall.
