Dig in Orlando, Orange County, Florida exposing the Nashua Formation (Plio-early Pleistocene) UF IP 337442, 336673, 337404.

    In Florida this extinct tornid appears to be limited to the Nashua Formation, but it is also found in more northerly exposures of contemporary fauna  The nominal taxa Cyclostremiscus undula (Dall, 1895) and C. greensboroensis (Martin, 1904) appear to be synonymous.
