Helopicus nalatus (Frison) .

This species occurs in all states along the southern border of Illinois (DeWalt et. al. 2010), but has never been reported from the state. Grubbs (2004) stated that he was unable to find definitive specimen records in the literature or museum specimens to substantiate the claims of Bednarik & McCafferty (1977), Stark et al. (1986), or Stewart & Stark (2002) that this species resides in Indiana.
