C. ensiger Harris. 



General Range. — New England to southern New Jersey and 

 western North Carolina, west to Ontario, northern Indiana, Minne- 

 sota and Colorado. 



Local Distribution. — Apparently scarce, most frequent north- 

 ward along the edge of the Appalachian District; rare in extreme 

 southern New Jersey. 



Ecological Distribution. — No data on hand for our region, 

 but usually recorded as occurring in grassy meadows and swaies. 



Locality Records. — 



Highlands. — Greenwood Lake (Davis). 



Piedmont Plateau. — Honesdale (Pa. St. Dept. Zool.). 



Ft. Lee. (Beutenmiiller) ; New Brunswick (N. J. St. Mus. Rep.). 



Middle District. — Jamesburg (Davis). 



Pine Barrens (?). — Manumuskin (Daecke). 

 C. exiliscanorus Davis. 



General Range. — Is definitely known from Connecticut, Long 

 Island and New Jersey. I am not aware of any records elsewhere, 

 but it doubtless occurs further south.^^ 



Local Distribution. — Apparently not very common, most 

 frequent in the Coastal District, occasionally occurring inland in 

 near-by parts of Middle District and Pine Barrens. 



Ecological Distribution. — Mr. Davis informs me the species 

 prefers a wet or swampy place. The first specimens were collected 

 from salt marsh, but he has found it in cattail swamps in places far 

 removed from salt marsh. 



Locality Records. — 



Middle District. — Farmingdale (Davis); Freneau (Davis). 



Pine Barrens. — Lakehurst (Davis in personal letter). 



Coastal District. — Hackensack meadows (Beutenmiiller) ; Staten 

 Island, in salt meadows on "Spartina" (Davis, N. J. St. Mus. Rep.); 

 Dennisville (Davis). 



C. lyristes Rehn and Hebard. 



General Range. — New Jersey to Florida near the coast. 



Local Distribution. — Moderately frequent in the Coastal 

 District; occasional inland in the near-by parts of the Pine Barrens 

 and Cape May District. 



^' In a personal letter Mr. Davis informs me that '"southward the insect gets 

 larger and the female was in consequence described as ('. bruneri by Mr. Blatch- 

 ley. " If the latter is a synonym of this species it would extend its known i^ange 

 as far west as Indiana at least. C. bruneri has also been recorded from North 

 Carolina (Sherman and Brimley).
