This species may be recognized by the numerous areoles 

 behind the middle of the corium, and the black spots are 

 placed along the inner margins of the veins, instead of 

 upon them. There is, however, a series on the costal 

 marginal vein. 



This insect has an extended geographical distribution, 

 ranging from the vicinit}'' of Winnipeg to Minnesota and 

 west to the State of Washington. West of the Mississippi 

 river it occurs in all the States down to Arizona, and from 

 thence through Texas and the Gulf region to the Atlantic 

 lowlands north into Maine. Sheltered spots in the Rocky 

 mountains and the lower mountains of the Appalachian 

 system are inhabited b}'- it.
