The Spring Creek record is the first exact one for the species from 

 Georgia.

The remarks previously made by us 7 on the apparent decrease 

 in size southward in specimens of this species are not substantiated 

 by the more extensive series now available, the lack of sufficient 

 material in 1910, there suggested as a possibility, accounting for our 

 change of view. 



The species was taken from under damp dead leaves on the edge 

 of forest (Fredericksburg) and among dry leaves under live oaks 

 (St. Simon's Island). 



Ischnoptera pensylvanica pensylvanica (De Geer).

The evidence of the present collections strengthens our previously 

 formed conclusion regarding the distribution of this species and of 

 I. divisa. Apparently the areas occupied by the two are quite 

 distinct, only localities along the line of impingement being repre- 

 sented by both forms. The two Clayton males and one female 

 from the same locality are very deeply colored, but do not appre- 

 ciably approach /. pensylvanica incequalis. 



The above-listed material taken by us was found under signs on 

 trees (white oaks at Fredericksburg).

The present form is clearly a derivative of the I. pensylvanica 

 stock, representing an adaptation of that type in the lower country
