This, the most abundant species of the present genus in the eastern 

 United States, is found almost everywhere over the regions here 

 considered, it has been correctly recorded from as far south in the 

 eastern United States as Fort Myers, Florida. The insect has been 

 frequently recorded in past literature as other species of the genus. 

 The species is more nearly terrestrial than any other of the genus 

 here considered ; it is usually found in the open, in weeds and grasses, 

 where it occurs frequently in considerable numbers. 



In the above series one specimen, from Live Oak, Florida, has the 

 inner antennal marking greatly reduced, while the outer markings 

 have disappeared. This is very unusual in this species, in which 

 these markings are normally well defined with outline sharp and even.
