Belocaulus angustipes (Heynemann, 1885) Black-velvet Leatherleaf

    The illustrated specimen (about 45 mm. in length) was discovered crawling across a sidewalk following rain at a veterinary clinic at 2520 St. Johns Bluff Road in southeastern Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida during the morning of 5/18/2007. Anecdotal information from clinic employees indicates that the species is not uncommon at that location but is only observed following wet weather.
