Discussion
Variety prolifera occupies a broad crescent from western South Dakota and southeastern Montana to northeastern New Mexico, central and eastern Texas (nearly to Mexico), southern Missouri, and southwestern Arkansas, with outliers in chalk prairies of southern Mississippi and southern Alabama. A specimen of it (mixed with other Californian Filagininae) collected in 1903 is purportedly from southern California; it might represent an introduction that did not persist or an accidental admixture from another collection.
Selected References
None.
