Remarks. Although, as noted above, Frison (1942)

included a male and two female specimens from Marshall Co. (Potts Camp) as paratypes of this species, Ricker & Ross (1968) placed the male from this series as a paratype of their new species, T. lonicera . Ricker & Ross (1968), but also provided a record of a single male T. lita from “2.5 miles SE of Iuka, Tishomingo Co.” Stark (1979) reported specimens from Marshall, Newton and Tishomingo counties and Fullington & Stewart (1980) listed larval and adult records from the Tombigbee River in Itawamba Co. Previously unpublished records are given from Leake and Noxubee counties. Most specimen records are from medium to large streams in the northern through east central regions of the state ( Fig. 3 View Fig ). Male genitalic structues are shown in Figs. 14 -15 View Figs , and the female 8 th sternum in Fig. 21 View Figs .
