New Berne, August 24, 1904. A pair from Bayville, Va., secured 

 August 19, 190S. are the first individuals of the species recorded from 

 that State. 



At Bayville it occurred in company with Anaxipha exigua in a 

 grassy and bushy wet spot in pine woods; at New Berne it was cap- 

 tured in rank growth along a drain and at Raleigh it was also taken 

 with Anaxipha on bushes bordering swampy land. 

 Hapithus agitator Uhler. 



A pair of specimens from Raleigh, taken in pine woods September 

 7, 1904, are particularly interesting as they are practically intermediate 

 between H. agitator and H. quad ml us. There seems to be little doubt 

 but that quadratics is a southern race of agitator, the differential 

 characters being the greater size, the proportionately longer legs and 

 more complex venation. The Raleigh individuals have distinctly 

 longer legs than specimens of true agitator, though their general rela- 

 tionship appears to be very slightly nearer the northern form. Taken 

 with the measurements already given by the authors, 26 the proportions 

 of the Raleigh specimens may be of interest.
