References:
Miami-Dade and Monroe were the only counties listed in tblMain and marked on the computer-generated map. Collier County is indicated by a dot on the original dot map along with a paragraph that explains the origin of the record, written by Tom Walker: "The north-most record on the map is near Bonita Springs but south of it, in Collier County. The specimen is a female in the Florida State Collection of Arthropods. Its label indicates it was collected 2 miles [south of] 865 on 865A on 16 Sep 1969 by David L. Mays. [The numbers are road numbers but the system for naming county and state roads in this part of Florida has been changed at least twice since 1969.]" [tmy 25 April 2025]
