The present species is peculiar to the Sabalian and Tropical Zones 

 of the southeastern United States where it is found, at times in 

 large numbers, in the forest undergrowth. The large series from 

 Atlantic Beach was taken in such surroundings on the edge of a 

 swamp; the entire series was found collected in two clusters in tall 

 weeds, the majority of the specimens in coitu; we have a pair from 

 this series still connected, of which the female is in the instar preceding 

 maturity. Immature individuals were found locally numerous in 

 tall weeds in the long-leaf pine woods along the river at Albany. 



The most northern, as well as the most western, definite records 

 for the species are given above.

The much smaller size, different facies, different and less striking 

 coloration and somewhat more slender and straighter limbs readily 

 separate adults of this species from adults of A. buprestoides; the 

 young of that species are, however, frequently obscurely colored 

 and often in these stages closely resemble the present insect. The 

 difficulty in ascertaining whether a specimen is adult increases the
