Description
Perlesta browni Stark 1989
Sussex Co., Nottoway River, Nottoway Rd, CR 651, N Emporia, 36.84694 -077.56083, 19 May 2004, B. Kondratieff, R.F. Kirchner & R.E. Zuellig, 5♂, 1♀ (CSUC); same data, 1 June 2006, 1♂, 1♀ (CSUC).
This record is an apparent substantial range extension for a species previously reported from Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma (Stark 1989, Poulton and Stewart 1991). The Virginia material appears indistinguishable from typical P. browni from the Ozarks, although this species was considered an “endemic to the region” by Poulton and Stewart (1991). Further studies, especially of the eggs of this disjunct Virginia population may help resolve the status of this taxon. The type locality for P. cranshawi Kondratieff and Kirchner, 2006 is from this same site on the Nottoway River.
