Comments: This species was listed under its synonym, Podisus fretus Olsen , in Froeschner (1988), and many of the older records for this species are under that name. Phillips (1983), in her unpublished dissertation, among other records, also listed Connecticut, thus confirming the above record; she also listed this species from the District of Columbia, Georgia, and South Carolina which would represent new state records.
