1978] Peck — Adelopsis in the Southern Appalachians 367 
McLemore Cove, 9 mi (15 km) SW LaFayette, 14. VII. 1967, forest 
log litter Ber 79, SBP, 3. Dawson County. Mt. Oglethorpe, 2000' 
(610 m), 20. VIII. 1967, SBP, litter Ber 80, 1 damaged male. 
Description. Dorsal section of aedeagus tip (figs. 16-18) regu- 
larly curved, unadorned, shortest on left side and longest on right; 
ventral section regularly curved with downturned tip; posterior view 
with dorsal section forming a uniformly arched genital orifice, with 
a uniform border; setae on ventral surface lying in groove rather 
than separated depressions. Internal sac thick, not narrowed into 
curved tube at apex (fig. 15). Spermatheca (figs. 57-60) smoothly 
curved, anterior part broadened and without crest, posterior part 
recurved off structural plane. 
Variation. The Morgan County, Alabama, sample has a lower 
arch, with a flattened middle to the genital orifice when seen from 
behind. This opening is most highly arched in the Cheaha Moun- 
tain, Alabama, male which also has a differing left margin to the 
ventral section. 
Etymology. The name refers to the Appalachian Mountains, 
around the southern end of which this species is distributed. 
Distribution. This is the most widely distributed species, ranging 
from north-central Alabama, south of the Tennessee River, east- 
wards into northwestern Georgia. 
Field Notes. This is the most frequently collected species because 
it has a wide range, and occurs in a region which has received much 
collecting attention. It has been found in forest litter and in the 
entrance zone of caves, in the months of January, March, May, 
June, July, August and September. It is probably active throughout 
the year.
