These records and that from Southern Pines, North Carolina, 

 given by Sherman and Brimley, 106 of which the material is now 

 before us, are the only ones known for the race from east of the 

 Mississippi. The Lake Drummond male is perfectly typical of the 

 form, one of the females is very small, in addition with its abdomen 

 greatly contracted, but we should consider it referable to p. arboreus, 

 while the other female is extremely large, in fact on the whole the 

 largest specimen from the east we have seen. It is possible that 

 difference of environment is responsible for the variation in these 

 two females, or the occasional instability of a form near the margin 

 of its range. The Dismal Swamp locality being so peculiar in itself, 

 representing nearly the extreme Austroriparian district in the east, as 

 well as a strongly marked accentuation of the same type of environ- 

 ment, we may find an explanation of this variation in the supposition 

 that the smaller individual would represent the normal-sized insect 

 for the geographic position of the locality, considering the regular 

 increase in size southward of the species, while the larger ones would 

 represent a decided response to the abnormally pronounced ten- 

 dencies of the region. 



The Stone Mountain individual is quite suffused with rufescent, 

 which strongly colors the pale areas. It was taken in a dusty road 

 bordered on each side by heavy pine woods.
