ABSTRACT: A recent review of the collection at the Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), and a loan of 82 undetermined specimens of soldier beetles (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) from the Louisiana State Arthropod Museum (LSAM) revealed 10 new state records, some representing significant range extensions. Little has been published concerning the distribution of cantharid beetles in the southeastern United States and current documented ranges are based primarily on distributions published in larger studies focused on northeastern North America (Downie and Arnett 1996, Pelletier and Hébert 2014). Based on reviews of published literature, new state records of seven species from six states are reported.
