Comments.

The range of Anthrax georgicus includes all North America and Central America (Nicaragua, Costa Rica) covering a wide diversity of habitats and environmental conditions. Common in the rainy season and present in the dry season (March), this species is probably present in most if not all states of Mexico, but has only been collected in eight of them.
