Remarks: Entocythere internotalus was synonymized with E. elliptica in Andolshek & Hobbs (1986: 30) . Peters & Pugh (1999) questioned the validity of E. harrisi reported in North Carolina by Hobbs & Peters (1977: 52); these records were based on examination of female specimens alone. Peters & Pugh (1999) deemed the characters used by Hobbs & Peters (1977) to distinguish females of E. harrisi from E. internotalus (= E. elliptica ) to be unreliable. By claiming that the only collections representing E. harrisi are from the type locality (Amherst County, Virginia), Texas, and Arkansas, Peters & Pugh (1999) effectively synonymized the North Carolina records with E. elliptica and/or E. reddelli , the females of which the authors also found to be indistinguishable. Additional sampling is needed for confirmation.
