According to Chris Schmidt, regarding the handful of BugGuide records for A. vittata for Arkansas and Virginia, there's "no way to ID these definitively as vittata, especially since they are range-edge or beyond."
A. vittata occurs from southeastern Texas east through the gulf states and up the coastal plain to North Carolina. Any proposal of a vittata record north of this should be met with skepticism until a genitalia image is provided.
