Abstract

We report Merope tuber Newman from Florida for the first time. Locality and phenological data associated with specimens represent the southern-most distributional records and extend previously recorded seasonal records. Additionally, we discuss the relevance of Florida biogeography, geological history, and Appalachian refugia to the distribution of M. tuber.
