Additional localities are reported for east Texas (Baldauf and Truett, 1964), Louisiana (Dundee and Rossman, 1989) southeastern Oklahoma (Trowbridge, 1937), Missouri (Johnson, 1987), Mississippi (Ferguson, 1961b), Indiana (La-Pointe, 1953), Alabama (Mount, 1975), north Georgia (Martof, 1955), North Carolina (E.E.
