Steuben, Tippecanoe, Marion and Putnam counties, Ind., June 

 5 — July 24. Dunedin and Lake Okeechobee, Fla., March 2 — 23 ; 

 not before recorded from that State. Occurs on foliage of hard 

 and red maple. Ranges from Ontario and New England west 

 to Michigan and Iowa and south to North Carolina and Florida. 

 Uhler (loc. cit.) mentions a specimen from Canada as having 

 "the inner half of hemelytra black from behind the base of 

 the clavus along its whole breadth to the base of the mem- 

 brane." He also records it from North Carolina, which is the 

 only record south of New Jersey. Hussey found it common in 

 June and July on hard maples in the dune forests of southern 

 Michigan.
