It has been redescribed several times from Australia and once from Sr Lanka, with those names now recognized as synonyms. It occurs in the southern U.S. and in many places throughout Central America. Males are easily distinguished by the strongly upturned labial palpi that fit into shallow grooves on the frons of the head. Specimens examined: Honduras: Dept Comayagua, Siguatepeque, 5 Nov 1980 (1♂), S. Passoa (SCPC). Dept. Francisco Morazán, El Zamorano, Escuela Agrícola Panamericana, 18–19 Dec 1965 (1♂), G.
