Description
Octolasion cyaneum (Savigny, 1826)
Clarke Co.: (1) UGA Campus, Planted bed along E. Greene St., 21 Mar 2006, Coll: BA Snyder.
Murray Co.: (1) Chattahoochee NF, 34° 51’ 59” N, 84° 38’ 38” W, Rough Ridge fire, Unburned Plot 5, litter, hand coll., 5 Oct 2017, Coll: BA Snyder, MA Callaham, et al.
Previously recorded: DeKalb, Gwinnett, Oconee, Rabun, Thomas, Towns, Upson. This European species has a global distribution, although records are patchy in the US and Canada (Sims & Gerard 1999).
Remarks. The Murray Co. records of Octolasion cyaneum were from a study on the effects of large wildfires. Interestingly, O. cyaneum was only found in the unburned plots.
