Distribution.

This species ranges from northern Kansas to northeastern Kentucky (Fayette County, Robert L. Davidson pers. comm. 2012) south to western Alabama and Nuevo León in northeastern Mexico [see Noonan 1973: Fig. 158]. The western limit of the species range is along the Rio Grande in western Texas, although it has been recorded from one locality in southwestern Arizona (Snow 1907: 142). The species is also known from south-central Wisconsin (Sauk County, Robert L. Davidson pers. comm. 2012). The records from South Carolina (Kirk 1969: 13; Kirk 1970: 14; Ciegler 2000: 90) need confirmation.
