The following site records are also considered valid but not 

 substantiated by specimens: 



Transylvania Co., Toxaway Gorge, under bark of logs in 1963 

 (J. R. Paul). 



Mecklenburg Co., Cowans Ford Dam at Lake Norman, under 

 mat in a building ca. 1987 (K. L. Manuel). 



There are also two specimens taken in the "western part of 

 state," exact location unknown, 5 October 1965, J. Gallion (AMNH). 



Remarks — Because of the abundance of predominantly pine 

 forests like those in which it occurs in piedmont South Carolina and 

 Georgia, V. carolinianus could become established in central North 

 Carolina through accidental importations from its natural range in 

 this or other states. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS— I thank the following curators, collection 

 managers, and university faculty for records from their collections or 

 loans from, and access to, specimens under their care: B. R. Engber
