The embolus is flatter than that of other species (Figs. 1, 34). Natural History. Larinia directa females are mature throughout the season and adult males have been collected from March to September. The oblique web is found in grass and on herbs (Comstock, 1940). Very few specimens have data on habits: it has been collected in grass in Louisiana, an old field in North Carolina, a cotton field in Arkansas, a pine forest in Chiapas and a banana plantation in Panama. In Cali, Colombia specimens are found in weedy fields and the web is made in the evening (Frontispiece and W. Eberhard, personal communication). Distribution. From Lakehurst, New Jersey (J. and W. Ivie), 27 June 1964, to southern California, south to Brazil (Map 1). Larinia borealis Banks Figures 13-21, 32, 35, 42-44; Map 2 Larinia borealis Banks, 1894, Entomol. News, 5: 8.
