Deltometopus ereptus Bonvouloir, 1871

This uncommonly encountered, yet apparently widespread eucnemid species has been recorded from Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia ( Otto 2024c). New records have been confirmed for a number of states: Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio and Wisconsin. One specimen was taken from a Malaise trap placed in a backyard on a private property in Ohio. Numerous specimens have been taken from various flight intercept trapping techniques deployed throughout much of southern Wisconsin from 1975 through 2017. A small number of specimens have been taken by sweeping vegetation in southern Wisconsin. Two specimens were taken from beneath a piece of driftwood embedded in wet sand on the beach.
