Florida, west to Texas and eastern Nebraska, typically an Austral 

 species; also in Central and South America. 



Local Distribution. — Very rare or accidental in the Piedmont 

 Plateau; frequent, but more or less local in the Middle and Coastal 

 Districts of the Coastal Plain, apparently most abundant in the lower 

 Delaware Valley. 



Ecological Distribution. — Largely a Submaritime species, 

 being especially frequent in the patches of Scirpus americanus along 

 the borders of the salt marshes, in smaller numbers extending a short 

 distance inland along tidal streams.

General Range. — ^New England States to Florida, west to 

 Minnesota and Nebraska, most frequent in the northern States, 

 apparently exceptional south of the Middle Atlantic States. 



Local Distribution. — Usually quite rare and local in both the 

 Piedmont Plateau and Coastal Plain, exceptionally frequent locally. 

 No records from the Pine Barrens. 



Ecological Distribution. — Rather variable in its habitat prefer- 

 ences, frequenting dry, scrubby areas, usually in sylvan surroundings 

 in inland localities, but along the coast occurring in the Submaritime 

 zone, where it is partial to the Iva oraria fringes along the edge of the 

 salt marshes, occasionally spreading to scrubby areas on the adjoining 

 upland.
