Comments.
Although
the
holotype
is from
Kentucky
, most of the
paratype
series of this species are from sites in the
Shawnee National Forest
near the
Burden Creek
location of our specimens.
The Logan Branch
,
Kentucky
site is in a county adjacent to
Menifee Co.
, where the
holotype
was collected. As discussed above for
L. alabama
, the
holotype
and topotype specimens need to be carefully studied to evaluate the status of this species.
Additional material
is needed to allow examination of
Mississippi
specimens with SEM.
