It has been taken at widely separated points. In the south I know it only from New Orleans, La. and Florida, though Strecker gives Carolina and Texas ; this is quite probable, as it is certainly a southern and not a northern species ; yet in the northern states it is reported from Nebraska, not given on the map (Dodge), northern Illinois (Edwards), Wisconsin abundant (Hoy), and New JerseyâAtlantic City (Aaron), Hoboken (Sachs, Meyer, Andrews), and it has twice been taken in Canada, at Hamilton (Moffat) and Toronto (Geddes). It has even been reported from New England. I have specimens, of the origin of which I know nothing, marked from Massachusetts, and Mr. Edwards long ago wrote me that Mr. Akhurst had two specimens taken by Chase at Holyoke, Mass. I cannot learn that a single date exists to indicate the seasons of this in- sect, and we are totally ignorant of every feature of its history or of its earlier stages.
