Abstract

The distribution of Merope tuber in the Interior Highlands of the United States is presented showing this rarely collected species has a wider distribution than previously thought. Conservation organizations that list M. tuber as a species of concern, might wish to reconsider this classification until more thorough distributional surveys are conducted.
