Type locality and specimens. Fort Lauderdale , Florida, USA, 26°09.762'N 80°05.412'W. Holotype, male, 3.1 mm, USNM 1081601 About USNM ; paratypes, male, 2.6 mm, female, 2.9 mm, USNM 1081602 About USNM . GoogleMaps
Material examined. Unmeasured males and females, USNM 1081601, USNM 1081602, JLB Haw 6, JLB Haw 10, MNRJ –8566. Diagnosis based on description by Thomas & Klebba (2006).
