Hapithus agitator
(Note: Monroe County, Florida, includes the southwest portion of the tip of mainland Florida and the upper and lower keys. These three parts of that county are mapped separately in the "dot maps" but not in the computer-generated distribution maps, which are strictly at the county level.)
In most southern localities, males sing and keep their forewings intact. Alexander & Otte were first to note this and mapped known localities for calling songs and for damaged forewings (1967, Fig. 18).
The Taylor County, Texas, record is from a T.J. Walker specimen in the FSCA collection.
The Boston, Massachusetts record is from Brandon Woo; he collected a male and female in a small city park in October 2017.
Summary of Species' Distribution
Hapithus agitator's range extends across the Southeast region of the United States and reaches eastward into the Southwest and northward into the Midwest and Northeast regions.
