Types

Syntypes, Illinois State Laboratory of Natural History, Urbana, Illinois (no longer there), Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 3794 (male I, female), Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 3454 (male I).

Type Locality

Normal, McLean County, Illinois (Restricted by Hobbs, 1974b:47).

Range

Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and perhaps Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Remarks

As is true of most of the wide-ranging primary burrowers, it is possible, if not probable, that many of the reported localities (particularly those from which first form males are not known) are based on misidentifications.

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
