This species has been carefully described by Fig. 71 Several pecten teeth of C. restuans much enlarged Distribution. This species was described by Theobald, from Ontario, Canada, and has been taken by us in widely separated New York localities, notably, Adirondacks, Albany and West- field. It was obtained at Center Harbor N. H. and Cabin John Md. by Dr Dyar, and at Lahaway N. J. by Mr Brakeley. Life history and habits. Our own experience indicates that this larva is found in much the same situation as C. pipiens, except that we have not taken it in filthy water, it seeming to prefer an open barrel or vessel containing clear rain water. This is confirmed by Dr Smith's observations. We have also taken this species at Lake Placid, an elevation of 2000 feet, in a large hollow burned in a pine and partly filled with rain water. The same species was met with at Big Moose in a tub of rain water. Dr Dyar records taking it from cold spring pools in New Hampshire, though he states that it is not confined to such places. He has met with it in pools shaded by bushes, and even in rain puddles. He states that the larvae pass through four stages as usual, and that they may be found all summer and fall, and possibly may survive the winter in favorable Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New York State Museum.
