exhibits a wide distribution, especially considering its flightlessness, including the Great Smoky Mountains, continuing along the high Blue Ridge Parkway corridor into the Plott Balsams and Great Balsams, as well as slightly lower parts of the Nantahala and Cowee Mountains. In elevational range it occurs from 3200 ft at Coweeta to its highest occurrences on Clingmans Dome and Mt. LeConte above 6500 ft.

can only be unambiguously distinguished from the others by male genitalic characters. Specifically, the lower endophallic sclerite is long, sickle-shaped, and bears a small secondary hook near its midpoint. The apex of the median lobe is more narrowly knobbed than most others, and the apex of the compressor plate is only subtly asymmetrical. There appear to be some differences in exact shapes of endophallic sclerites among localities (e.g., Fig.
