The present species is relatively infrequent in the Coastal Plain 

 south of North Carolina and the lower Gulf drainage of southern 

 Georgia, in addition having never been definitely recorded from 

 peninsular Florida. That from Thomasville (Rehn & Hebard) is 

 the only known south Georgia record and Marianna (Morse) is the 

 only definite Florida locality. 



The present representation shows considerable individual variation 

 in general size and in tegminal length, while the coloration shows 

 the usual variability of this plastic species. One of the Rabun 

 County males has the caudal tibiae pale glaucous clouded with 

 brownish proximad and distad. 



The above specimens secured by us were all taken in cultivated or 

 waste fields, being common nowhere except at Orange and Petersburg, 

 while generally very scarce.

 these slightly surpassing the tips of the caudal femora in the majority
