0.00		 MONA Number:
295.10
Comments: Homosetia is a genus with 12 currently described species and several undescribed species that are found in eastern North America. Terry Harrison (microleps.org) has discovered at least five undescribed species in this complex that occur in Illinois, and that are likely found farther east, including in North Carolina. These forms are best identified based on genital morphology. Other specimens of have been found that do not fully conform to the descriptions of named species, which suggests that additional undescribed species may be present in the eastern US. The undescribed species here conforms to ‘Homosetia undescribed species 2’ at Microleps.org the was first discovered by Terry Harrison.
