1978] Peck — Adelopsis in the Southern Appalachians 371 
forest litter Ber 237 (from limestone crevices near Tumbling Rock 
Cave). Paratypes: 6 with same data. 
Description. Dorsal section of aedeagal tip short (figs. 28-30) 
and upturned, with right side free and reflexed; in posterior view 
right margin of arch above orifice projecting and deflexed to right. 
Spermatheca thin and uniformly curved as in figs. 62-63. 
Etymology. Named for the city of Scottsboro, which sits at the 
base of a spur of the Cumberland Plateau, near the margin of the 
drainage basin probably containing the species range. 
Distribution. The species should be expected to occur in addi- 
tional sites below the Plateau escarpment in the headwaters of Mud 
and Coon Creeks, Jackson County. Some beetles and other inverte- 
brates are known to be endemic to this area, so some general 
mechanism may have worked to isolate them in this section of the 
Cumberland Plateau escarpment. How the species range overlaps or 
intergrades with that of A. cumberlanda (occurring a short distance 
to the west and south along the same general face of the Plateau, 
and in the drainage of the Paint Rock River) is not known. 
Relationships. The species can be considered a local isolate of A. 
cumberlanda, from which the aedeagal tip is easily derived.

Figs. 31-33 
Holotype male in USNM. Type data: Tennessee. Davidson 
County near Nashville, 3 November 1937, S. F. Austin, “elm-maple, 
562”. Tentatively associated material; one female, Tennessee, War- 
ren County, Hubbard Cave at Irving College, 16. X. 1948, W. B. 
Jones and J. M. Valentine. 
Description. Aedeagus with dorsal section of tip (figs. 31-33) 
upturned, and recurved on right side; in posterior view genital 
orifice deflected up and to the right. 
Etymology. The name refers to the city near where the species 
was collected. 
Relationships. The species seems to be closest to A. cumber- 
landa, from which the aedeagal tip can be easily derived.
