| comments |
Species in this genus can only be separated by genitalia, and the distribution of some members of this genus may be incorrect due to overreporting. While C. melichari is the only one species reported from NC (UDEL), all melichari records north of Florida are likely in error, or at least need verification, and instead are likely to be C. sordida, which is confirmed via specimen from as far north as South Carolina. Any Cyarda found in NC should be collected so that the tail of the specimen can be checked. (C. Bartlett pers. comments) |
