Perlesta puttmanni Kondratieff & Kirchner 2003

Lee/Chatham Co. Deep River, Hwy 42 NW Sanford , 35.52011 -79.34873, 15 May 2010, B. Kondratieff, R. E. Zuellig & D. Lenat, 1♂ ( CSUC).

Kondratieff et al. (2006) reported P. puttmanni from the Little River (Harnett/Cumberland Co., Little River, Hwy 401, Lillington, 18 May 2004), as a new state record for North Carolina. Re-examination of this material indicated that the specific status of these P. decipens complex specimens is uncertain requiring study of the entire complex. Such a study is outside the scope of this paper. However, the Lee/Chatham Co., Deep River specimen is clearly P. puttmanni validating the occurrence of this species in North Carolina.
