Discussion. This common eastern species was listed by Wilkening et al. (1985) from 14 Florida counties including Wakulla Co. We provide additional records from that county. In his revision of Allohelea, Wirth (1991) did not include Bay, Escambia, Highlands, Jackson and Leon counties in the list of A. nebulosa he examined.
