Dates of collection are mostly from late spring to early fall. A 

 few are in mid-spring and mid-fall. Unusually early and late dates 

 are: April 28 at Englewood, N. J.; May 4 in Osceola Co., Mich.; 

 May 8 in Isabella Co., Mich.; May 8 and 9 at Ithaca, N. Y.; Sep- 

 tember 23 at St. John, N. B.; September 24 at Aylmer, Que., and 

 at Kentville, N. S.; September 25 at Ithaca, N. Y.; and October 24 

 at Aweme, Man. We have found the species common in the summer 

 months, among herbage in woods of the Canadian zone, less common 

 in the Transition zone. 



Rearing records are as follows: 3 c?, reared from Coleophora sal- 

 mani, Bar Harbor, Maine, July 20, 1929, and Aug. 6, 1929, R. L.

This subspecies occurs in the Canadian and Transition zones from 

 the Atlantic to the Rocky Mountains, and in parts of Alaska. It is 

 adult throughout the growing season but most common during the 

 summer months.
