This species is exceedingly rare in the State, if indeed it occurs at all. 

 Willis publishes a record for Warren County on authority of F. Knighton, 

 and one for "near Camden" on authority of W. M. Canby. I can find no 

 trace of either specimen. Githens' record for Woodbury, published in Keller 

 and Brown's list, is the following species.
