There is, however, but a single specimen, a female, making it difficult to determine (without a comprehensive review of the genus) if it is actually different from the widely distributed Olithopus micans LeConte, 1848 (Y. Bousquet, pers. comm.). Table |. Synonymized species and valid species not confined to Rhode Island
