L. (A.) latipes Walsh. Newfoundland, Ft. Lee (Wheeler) ; Camden (Sm) ; 



Weymouth (Dke). Nests under large stones in grassy fields. 

 It seems probable that "L. (A.) murphyi" Forel. also occurs in New 

 Jersey, since it has been taken on Long Island and within the present 

 limits of New York City.
