Hmm....
This is a difficult genus, and I notice that BG notes just one record of urticaria (in New Brunswick), while MPG notes extensive occurrence. I also note that rufaria is noted in BG only from Florida, while MPG illustrates a wider coastal-plain distribution (north to Delaware). While I think that this beast is not referable to sospeta, I do not know how to differentiate the other two eastern species.
