Discussion.
Wilkening et al. (1985)
recorded this common eastern species from Alachua, Baker, Citrus, Franklin, Gulf, Highlands, Jefferson,
Leon
, Liberty, Orange and
Santa Rosa
counties. Among material identified by Wirth as
S. bulla
in the FSCA are a female and male from Alachua Co., that are actually specimens of
S. thomsenae
, and their locality data are listed under that species.
Porch et al. (1992)
recorded a specimen from Walton Co. that was collected from a sundew, the first record of this species from that county that we include below.
