Distribution: USA: Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, South Carolina( Walton 1931). Specimens in collections: Walton (1931)pointed out that typematerial was deposited in Ward Collection, Universityof Illinois, catalogue number 12211.
Remarks:Larval forms of this species [originally described as Physaloptera ranaeby Walton (1931)] have been reported in frogs ( Reiber et al. 1940; Campbell 1968; Ashton & Rabalais 1978); adults have not been described. Physaloptera ranaewas transferred by Morgan (1941)to the genus Abbreviata, but Baker (1987)considered it a species inquirendae, because it is possible that more than one physalopterid species is envolved in these reports. On the other hand, Bursey et al. (2006a)pointed out that amphibians are probably intermediate hosts for species of Abbreviata.
