Southern specimens of this species are larger and more graceful 

 than any others. 



Though yet known from few localities, this local, sylvan species 

 is seen to have a wide distribution and will certainly be found over 

 very extensive areas in southwestern Pennsylvania and most of 

 West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. It is known north to 

 the Catoctin Mountains, Maryland; the Red Hills in Franklin 

 County, Ohio, and Vigo County, Indiana; east to Bluemont, 

 Virginia; Rocky Bottom, South Carolina, and Clayton, Georgia; 

 south to Jasper, Georgia. Southwestern limits can not be denned.
