Remarks.
Brailovsky & Sánchez (1983)
included the south of the
United States
as part of the distribution following
Hussey (1956)
. However, Hussey’s Florida record was most likely a misidentified
L. concolor
(
Allen 1969
)
, as was the suspicion of
Gibson (1917)
regarding specimens collected north of
Mexico
in the NMNH. At the time,
Allen (1969)
suggested that
L. stigma
occurred east of the Andes in northern South America. The known distribution has vastly expanded, reaching as far north as
San Luis Potosi
and the southern extreme of
Tamaulipas
in Tampico,
Mexico
(
Brailovsky & Sánchez 1983
).
