Nomenclature note Appendix 1, p342: "Apheloria roanea was described from Roane County, which falls within the range of Apheloria polychroma and is outside the range of A. montana. Hoffman synonymized it under Apheloria montana, but the original description fits better with A. polychroma, potentially making A. polychroma a junior synonym. Unfortunately, fresh material from the type locality is not available, and the type and only known specimen of A. roanea cannot be located. Additionally the name Apheloria polychroma has now been used in a multitude of publications. For taxonomic stability we do not list A. polychroma as a junior synonym of A. roanea." [details]
