Head round and robust, front legs short and stocky, middle and hind legs longer, with exceptionally long tarsal claws. Ab- dominal segments enlarged gradually to beyond middle and decreasing to apex, seg- ments separated by a constriction and with- out dorsal armature. Case.—Purselike, formed of two sym- metrical ovate valves and with anterior and posterior slits. The case is carried erect. Construction of fibers often mottled. Adults.—Length 4-5 mm. Color salt- and-pepper mottling to almost uniformly. Fig. 455.—Agraylea multipunctata, female genitalia. black. Venation relatively complete, much as in fig. 452. Male genitalia as in fig. 454. Female genitalia as in fig. 455. Holarctic in distribution, this species is taken commonly throughout the northern states and Canada. In Illinois our records are most abundant in the northeastern cor- ner. The larvae have been taken in both lakes and rivers. In addition to Illinois, we have records from British Columbia, Colorado, Maine, Manitoba, Michigan, Minnesota, New Brunswick, New York, Nova Scotia, Ontario, South Dakota, Vir- ginia, Wisconsin.
