Notes

This species was known from Guadeloupe but not from Martinique. It has a Neotropical, Nearctic and Autralasian distribution: Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Guadeloupe, Hawaii, Mexico, New Zealand, Panama, and USA. The measurements of females and males collected in this study agree with those of Kreiter & Moraes (1997) and Moraes et al. (2000) for specimens collected in Guadeloupe.
