Description

Striaria columbiana Cook, 1899

Striaria columbiana Cook, 1899, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 21: 674. No definite type locality specified, several sites in and near Washington, DC, are mentioned. Types not formally designated, but Cook’s specimens are in USNMNH. Shear, 1972, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. 133: 247; 2020, Zootaxa 4758: 276 et seq. Hoffman, 1999, Virginia Mus. Nat. Hist. Special Publ. 8: 208. Shear (1972, 2020) provided detailed descriptions and illustrations of this species. It appears to be generally distributed in western Maryland and the Blue Ridge and Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, frequently found in caves though it shows no troglobitic adaptations.
