This species occurs in as great a variety of habitats as femoratus, 

 having been taken in marshy sink holes, among grasses in marshy 

 spots near streams and lakes (Petersburg and Fayetteville), in wet 

 weedy spots and among low undergrowth in short-leaf pine woods 

 (Goldsboro and Yemassee), in heavy palmetto and live-oak jungle 

 (Atlantic Beach), among undergrowth on dunes and in bare spots 

 on barrier beaches (Tybee and Sullivan Islands and Wrightsville).

We have also examined a pair from Fort Reed, Florida, deter- 

 mined as this species by Scudder. All of the specimens of the 

 present series have the pronotum caudate. 



Tybee Island and St. Simon's Island are the most northern points 

 in the eastern States from which the species is known.

From this material it is evident that cucullatus varies individually 

 quite a little in general size in both sexes, and also to an appreciable 

 degree in the rugosity of the dorsum of the pronotum. The general 

 color varies considerably in tone, through brownish blacks and 

 browns to dull ochre shades, with mottled individuals rather infre- 

 quent and " collared" specimens quite rare. The post humeral 

 paired triangular velvety black areas are not strongly indicated in 

 the greater proportion of the specimens and absent in a considerable 

 number. 



The Thomasville specimens previously recorded by us as texanus 33 

 we find on re-examination and comparison to be cucullatus. 



At Fredericksburg the species was found to be rather scarce along 

 the sandy edge of a stream near the Rappahannock River. At 



33 Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1904, p. 782, (1905).
