Notes: In the specimens from South Georgia in my collection and probably from Florida also, the tibiae, basitarsus, and tarsi are entirely ferruginous in color. This is in contrast to specimens from further North that have just the base and apex of the legs ferruginous. The description in Mitchell mentions just the base and apex, but clearly the ferruginous color is more widely distributed in the more southern specimens.
