Discussion. — The species has been poorly collected outside of 

 Florida, as is generally true for Coastal Plain groups, and is probably 

 more common there than the few scattered records indicate. It may 

 be sympatric with calijorniella in the Coastal Plain section of Texas.

Diagnosis. — The absence of ocelli and the presence of a tongue, 

 reduced but exposed between the palpi, serve to distinguish this 

 genus from the other North American Phycitinae.
