Notes: Although reported for Connecticut by Mitchell (1960), L. forbesii was not reported for Connecticut in McGinley’s (1986) revision. However, L. forbesii was reported from Brainard, Rensselaer County, New York in McGinley (1986), which is very close to Connecticut. Z.M. Portman reviewed two historical specimens from Colebrook, Connecticut in the insect collection at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University that were misidentified as L. forbesii , as well as two misidentified specimens from Massachusetts (Z.M. Portman, pers.
comm.). As such, we cannot confirm the presence of L. forbesii in Connecticut at this time, as historical records may refer to similar species, in particular L. coriaceum .
