 It also is a cosmopolitan species, known in this country from 

 Massachusetts to Wyoming and south to Florida, Arizona and 

 California, also from Mexico and the West Indies. It appears 

 to be scarce in the northeastern states, having been reported 

 only from Massachusetts, Ohio and Maryland. The usually 

 wholly pale sides of pronotum, yellow tip of scutellum and trun-

 tween it and our other species. In all but one of the specimens
