Remarks: The distinctly brown appearance of this species is the 

 result not only of its reddish-brown surface but also the uniformly 

 pale brown pubescence on the upper surface. The body beneath has 

 a grayish pubescence. No specimens have been seen north of New 

 York or south of Kentucky. It is recorded from New York to as far 

 west as St. Louis, Mo.
