Black, and Jerry G. Walls.Type Locality
Roadside ditch 3.0 miles (4.8 km) north of Grayson on U.S. Highway 165, Caldwell Parish, Louisiana.Range
Known with certainty from only several localities in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana. Tentatively reported here from Arkansas and Missouri.Remarks
Specimens of the genus from eastern Arkansas and southeastern Missouri may be assignable to F. creaseri or perhaps this taxon represents only a local variant of F. clypeata. (See "Range" and "Remarks" under F. clypeata.) Studies of populations in eastern Arkansas and southern Missouri are badly needed.References
