Abstract

Caralinda causeyi n. sp. and C. dactylifera n. sp. are described from Florida and Georgia, bringing the known generic composition to 4 species, 3 of which occur in northern Florida. Two new records of C. pulchritecta provide knowledge on variation and expand its known range into southeastern Alabama. A full generic description is now possible for Caralinda along with a key to species. Diagnostic illustrations are provided for the new species to aid in determinations.
