taxonomic_comments |
Approximately 30 species in this genus have been identified as occurring in North America north of Mexico (Cokendolpher and Lee, 1993; Ingianni et al., 2011), with 16 recorded in North Carolina. However, the validity of several of these species is suspect, with several that will probably be determined to be synonyms of other species, e.g., davisi, speciosum, and zimmermani in North Carolina Burns et al., 2012; Shultz, 2018). According to Shultz (2018), moreover, recent phylogenetic studies indicate both that more species are waiting to be described and that the name Leiobunum may eventually be restricted to European species, requiring new generic names for most, if not all, of our species. |

This species was listed for North Carolina by Cokendolpher and Lee (1993), citing a doctoral dissertation by C.R. McGhee (1971). Shultz (2018) states that speciosum has been recorded at various locations in the East but that they may actually represent morphs of L. vittatum. |
