( Mexico , Central America, West Indies, South America) Comments: Simons (1969) recorded this species from Alabama in an unpublished thesis, and there are also a number of recent photographs of this species from Alabama as well as South Carolina ( Meeds & Bertone 2021 ). Barton & Lee (1981) reported two records of this species from Arkansas , but given the known distribution at that time, they speculated that these records might be incidental records; accordingly, Froeschner (1988) listed the Arkansas record with a question mark. This species has now been reported from Kansas , Missouri , and Oklahoma so the records from Arkansas might very well be valid.
