One specimen was captured near Utah Lake, June 26, 

 1891, by Dr. Schwarz. It is a common species that is now 

 known to be widely distributed on both sides of this con- 

 tinent. Specimens have been sent to me from numerous 

 localities, among which ma}^ be mentioned Massachusetts, 

 from Cape Ann to south of Boston ; Connecticut, near New 

 Haven and Hartford; New York, eastern, central and 

 western ; New Jersey, near Newark and Egg Harbor City ; 

 Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, and in York County it 

 occurs in gardens on blossoms of the Privet, Ligustrum 

 vulgare Linn. Mr. Stromberg sent specimens to me from 

 Galesburg, 111. ; Mr. B. D. Walsh, from Eock Island. 

 Robert Kennicott collected it near Evanston and at other 

 places in northern Illinois, and also in Wisconsin. Sev- 

 eral of the United States expeditions brought it from 

 Kansas and Colorado, and I have met with it both in 

 Maryland and Yirginia. Mr. Morrison took it in Georgia 

 and North Carolina ; Mr. Belfrage found it in central 

 Texas, and more recently Mr. O. Heidemann has taken it 

 near Washington, D. C, on June 7.
