Additional record: Florida: [Broward Co.]: Ft. Lauderdale, Snyder Park, 5-III-1994, R . Mercurio (1♂ 1♀ DAR), 9-IV-1994, R . Mercurio (1♀ DAR) .

Distribution: United States: FL. (West Indies)

Comments: This species is primarily considered to be a West Indian species, and was first recorded from Florida in 1983 (Baranowski et al. 1983). Since we only know of one subsequent published record ( Mead 1993) since the original 1983 report, we have provided the additional record above, thus providing further evidence that this species is apparently established in southern Florida.
