Remarks. Ogma floridense was described from specimens collected around the roots of Liquidambar styraciflua in swamps in the Aucilla Wildlife Management Area northwest of Perry in Taylor County, Florida ( Vovlas et al. 1991). In this survey, O. floridense was found in a golf course tee in Wake County, NC, and a golf course fairway in Beaufort County, SC, both established with bermudagrass. The male of O. floridense was not found. Only one male was described in the original description ( Vovlas et al. 1991). The morphology and morphometrics of the identified population did not differ from the population first described ( Vovlas et al. 1991). This is the first record of O. floridense from turfgrasses in NC and SC.
