X. saltans Scudder. 



General Range. — Canadian Provinces to the Gulf States, west 

 to Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas. 



Local Distribution. — Apparently quite rare and local ; has been 

 taken locally in all districts, except Appalachian and Highlands. 

 I know of no records of its occurrence on the beaches. 



Ecological Distribution. — On the single occasion when I 

 encountered this species I found it on dry uplands in grassy tangles 

 like those frequented by the preceding species.

Middle District. — Cornwalls (Rehn and Hebard).

X. spartinse Fox. 



General Range. — Southern Massachusetts to New Jersey and 

 probably to Florida along the coast. 



Local Distribution. — Abundant in the Coastal District on salt 

 marshes; occasional inland along tidal streams. 



Ecological Distribution. — Characteristic of salt marshes, where 

 it frequents the short variety of Spartina glabra that covers the tidal 

 flats between the watercourses. Less frequent in the Submaritime 

 zone. Doubtless extends inland in small numbers along tide-water 

 streams as one was taken in the rice grass {Zizania) on tidal flats 

 of Manumuskin Creek. 



Locality Records. — 



Middle District. — Canton, edge of salt marsh (Fox) ; Manumuskin, 

 in Zizania (Fox). 



Coastal District. — Atlantic City, salt marsh (Rehn, originally re- 

 ported as "nemorale" and later as "hrevipenrie," see Ent. News, 1902 

 and 1904); Palermo (Fox) in salt marsh; Ocean View, salt marsh
