Comments.
See “Diagnosis” section of
L. colemanorum
above. The
Louisiana
specimens loaned by R.E. DeWalt represent a new state record. The Bogue Lusa Creek site, located in
Washington
Parish, the northeastern most of the
Florida
Parishes is bordered on the north and east by three
Mississippi
counties, Pike, Walthall and Pearl River. No
Leuctra
records are reported for these counties but
L. ferruginea
is known from several sites in Amite County which borders Pike County.
