632 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [Nov., 



eastern and southeastern States from nearly fifty different localities. 

 In the collection before us is a series of eight males and three females 

 from Raleigh, taken July 8 to September 13, and two males and four 

 females from Sulphur Springs, secured September 27 and 29 ; 1905. 



The records of this species in the eastern States extend from Mary- 

 land to northern Florida (Pablo Beach, Jacksonville, Carrabelle, Ap- 

 alachicola, Ft. Barrancas and Warrington) and the coast of Mississippi 

 (Gulfport), vertically distributed from sea-level to at least 2,500 feet 

 (Sulphur Springs), wherever suitable environment occurs, the species 

 being distinctly xerophilous. The Raleigh individuals were taken 

 on sandy or dusty roads or at electric lights. This is a midsummer 

 species, only occasional tattered individuals being found as late as the 

 middle of September. 

 Leptysma marginicollis (ServiUe). 



This paludicolous species is represented by a series of ten males 

 and five females taken at Raleigh, on May 13 and September 9, 1904, 

 and a single immature male taken at New Berne, August 24, 190N. 

 The Raleigh specimens are fairly uniform in size. 



Sohistoceroa alutacea (Harris). 



At New Berne a single male of this species was taken in scrub near 

 pine woods on August 24, while three males and three females were 

 secured at Winter Park in dry spots in long-leaf pine woods, August 26. 

 The New Berne specimen is of the yellowish fasciate type, while the 

 Winter Park individuals are of the dull russet and vandyke brown 

 type, very similar in coloration and size to specimens from the pine 

 barren region of New Jersey. The Winter Park representatives all 

 lack the medio-longitudinal stripe. 



Sohistoceroa americana (Drury). 



This species is represented by five males, two taken at Sulphur 

 Springs, May 15 and June 5, 1904, two secured at the summit of Mt. 

 Pisgah, 5,700 feet elevation, October 4, 1904, and the fifth captured 

 at New Berne, August 24, 1908. 



Sohistoceroa damnifica (Saussure). 



A series of eleven males and six females taken at Sulphur Springs 

 on dates ranging from April 2 to May 15 and from September 18 to 29, 

 1904, and five males, and one female taken at Raleigh, March 9 to 

 April 13, and September 7, 1904, represent this species. The Sulphur 

 Springs males are rather small when compared with the Raleigh 

 individuals of that sex. At Sulphur Springs the specimens were all 

 captured in the undergrowth along the edge of the deciduous forest.
