“…bourbonica specimen records from 446 sites (including 396 sites in Florida; Fig 1), documenting the earliest known records for 24 geographic areas (countries, island groups, major islands, and US states), including nine for which I found no previously published records: Anguilla, Antigua, Barbuda, British Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Turks and Caicos Islands, Missouri, and Washington (Table 1). I compiled N. bourbonica from 32 sites on 16 West Indian islands, including published records from Barbados (Wetterer et al, 2016), New Providence (Deyrup et al, 1998), South Bimini (Smith, 1954), North Andros (Deyrup et al, 1998), San Salvador (Deyrup et al, 1998), Cuba (Trager, 1984;LoddoVega et al, 2001), and St Croix (Wetterer & Lombard, 2010) Outside of Florida, I found only 18 North American site records of N. bourbonica, including three from Mexico (Trager, 1984;Hernández-Ruiz et al, 2009;Coronado-Blanco et al, 2013) South Carolina, Summerville (33.0°N; Smith, 1934) South Carolina, Charleston (32.8°N;Smith, 1934) Alabama, Mobile (30.7°N;Trager, 1984) Texas, Harris Co.;Houston, (29.8°N, 30-Jun-1973 In addition to the above records from Jacksonville and Gainesville, I recorded only seven site records of N. bourbonica north of 29.5°N in Florida, all Kallal and LaPolla (2012) presented a map (Figure 205) that purported to show the distribution in North America of N. bourbonica and five other Nylanderia species. Oddly, this map included just three site records for N. bourbonica: one in the Florida Keys, one in Palm Beach County, Florida, and one in eastern Massachusetts.…”
