face, though a few show a slight depression on the internal face. Con- 

 siderable size variation is shown, this having no geographic significance. 



The species is usually found in luxuriant grasses or weedy tangles, 

 particularly near water, and is often locally very abundant. It was 

 found immature in great numbers in weeds, both along the river 

 and streams in woods (Fredericksburg), very scarce in short grasses in 

 boggy spot in woods (Petersburg), in undergrowth near stream in 

 forest (Weldon), in rank weedy undergrowth on wet ground on edge 

 of pine forest (Fayetteville, Wilmington, Lake Waccamaw), com- 

 mon on or near the ground in low green vegetation growing on edge 

 of "branch" filled with deciduous trees (Florence) and attracted to 

 light in hotel room (Albany). 



This species is known on the Atlantic coast as far north as West- 

 brook, Connecticut; it has been correctly recorded westward to 

 Brownsville, Texas. Numerous records of pulicaria from as far north- 

 west as Cuming County, Nebraska, and the Mississippi River, 

 Minnesota, apply to this species.

This species is smaller, more compact and robust than A. exigua, 

 and is immaculate pale brown in coloration. No cephalic markings 

 are found, except in the Brownsville series, where weakly defined 

 darker markings similar to those of exigua appear (figured). 



In this series, those from Fort Reed and Miami and the specimens 

 taken at Brownsville in June are long winged; these have open
