It is our opinion that although the majority of adults appear in the 



late fall, there arc young reaching maturity in every month of the year. 



The distribution of the present insect is known to extend from 



Savannah, Georgia, westward to Bainbridge, Georgia and De Funiak 



Springs, Florida, and southward to central Florida, where the southern 

 race, A. s. clara, takes its place.

This insect appears earlier in the year than does A. sphenarioides, 

 though in different years its appearance seems to vary, as in mid- 

 August of 1905 adults were found numerous in northern Florida, 

 while in late August of 1911 adults were few but young numerous 

 in the same region. 



This species, like A. sphenarioides, is found widely distributed 

 throughout the pine woods over its entire range; in Georgia and 

 northern Florida these pines being usually of the long-leaf species, 

 while in southern Florida they are the antillean pine, Pinus caribcea. 

 At Brunswick it was found occasional in the adult condition on 

 palmetto flats, while at Homerville immature individuals were very 

 common but adults rare in a low area in the pine woods overgrown 

 with a low heather-like plant, Kalinin hirsuta. 



The present insect is known from Jesup to Homerville, Georgia, 

 southward over peninsular Florida and on the keys at Big Pine Key.

This very scarce species is further represented in the series now 

 under consideration by a single male from Augusta, Georgia, which 

 specimen has recently been studied in a revisionary paper on the 



present genus. 110
