Leptodea ochracea Say 1817 has been previously <strong>collected</strong> from three locations<br />

in <strong>the</strong> tidal portion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Potomac River-Washington Metropolitan basin (Figure 16). In<br />

2009, we observed numerous dead specimens at one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sites where we previously<br />

observed L. ochracea (Table 1). They remain uncommonly encountered during MANTA<br />

sampling because habitat throughout in <strong>Maryland</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir range is infrequently surveyed.<br />
