Treatment

Oodes amaroides Dejean, 1831: 674. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation), restricted to "Mobile [Mobile County], Alab[ama]" by Lindroth (1969a: 1000). Holotype [by monotypy] (♀) in MHNP (Lindroth 1955b: 26). Note. Chaudoir’s collection in MHNP contains two specimens, a male and a female, of this species and the male has been designated lectotype by Bousquet (1996a: 472). The designation is invalid since Dejean (1831: 675) expressly stated that he had but a single female of this species.

Distribution.

This species ranges from southern Maine to east-central Minnesota (Kamal J.K. Gandhi pers. comm. 2008), south to southeastern Texas and the Florida Peninsula; also known from one locality in Cuba [see Bousquet 1996a: map 7]. The record from southeastern Wyoming (Lavigne 1977: 47) is probably based on a mislabeled specimen or a stray.
