in pine trees, except when moving from one to another. Its dis- 

 tribution is as yet very imperfectly known; the species was described 

 from [West Woodstock], Windham County, Connecticut. Other 

 records from Rivcrton and Anglesea, New Jersey; Chestertown, 

 Maryland, and Brownsville, Texas, do not apply to this species, but 

 several from the pine-barrens region of New Jersey we know to be 

 correct.

Among the eastern representatives of the genus the present species 

 is distinctive in size, form of pronotum in the males, coloration, 

 color pattern and tegminal proportions; in the male the tegmina are 

 very wide for the genus. 



Over the area under consideration the present species has been 

 recorded only from Bayville, Virginia; Raleigh, North Carolina, and 

 Thompson's Mills, Georgia. It is, however, widely distributed, 

 though local, our experience having found it to prefer low oaks and 

 oak shoots in woodlands. Adults of the species are not present 

 until late in the season.
