Remarks.

Endrődi (1966, 1985a) reported a no-data specimen of C. parallela from Mexico. This record is likely based on a misidentification and C. parallela is restricted to the southeastern United States ( Ratcliffe et al. 2013). The data points listed outside of Florida for C. parallela should be reevaluated, as some authors have hypothesized that this species is endemic to Florida ( Peck and Thomas 1998, Harpootlian 2001).
