Vaejovis carolinianus Distribution 



59 



(Fig. 2). The purpose of this contribution is to document the distribution 

 by providing specific localities and collection data, and to publish a 

 dot map that eliminates ambiguities in previous maps, in which counties 

 of occurrence are shaded. This procedure is misleading for peripheral 

 areas like Lee County, Virginia, where V. carolinianus occurs only in 

 Cumberland Gap, in the westernmost two miles of the County and 

 State. Concerted efforts to find V. carolinianus eastward in Lee County 

 have been unsuccessful (R. L. Hoffman, Virginia Museum of Natural 

 History, personal communication), so shading the entire county incorrectly 

 implies wider occurrence. 



The overall distribution, as documented herein, extends southward 

 through the Cumberland Mountains from the Ohio River, the northern 

 boundary in central Kentucky, and spreads eastward to the Appalachians
