 Duluth, Kittson Co., Lake City, Olmsted Co., Plummer, and St. 

 Paul); New Jersey; New York (Albion, Allegany State Park, Bear 

 Mountain State Park, Ithaca, Long Beach, McLean Bogs Reserve in 

 Tompkins Co., Milford Center, Taughannock Falls, Troy, and Upper 

 Ausable Lake in Essex Co.) ; Nova Scotia (Baddeck) ; Ohio (Columbus, 

 Jerusalem, and Portage Co.); Ontario (Merivale, Ottawa, and Simcoe); 

 Pennsylvania (Milford, "Mooresville," and Pittsburgh); Quebec (St. 

 Malo); Vermont (Caledonia Co., Plainfield, and Woodstock); and 

 Virginia (Shenandoah National Park at 3,200 ft.). We have seen 

 several males that probably belong to this species and certainly many 

 more have passed through our hands but could not be distinguished 

 from males of C. aequalis. Since there is no certain way of identifying 

 a male of this species we do not attempt to report any. 



Dates of collection are from late spring to mid-fall. The earlier 

 and later dates are: May 28 in Sanilac Co., Mich. ; May 29 at Simcoe, 

 Ont.; May 30 in Shiawassee Co., Mich, and at Merivale, Ont.; Sep- 

 tember 19 in Ramsey Co., Minn.; and September 29 at 3,200 ft. in 

 Shenandoah National Park, Va. 



Reared specimens are as follows: 29, from Pyrausta nubilalis, 

 Jerusalem, Ohio, July 10, 1929, M. Schlosberg. 9, from Neodiprion 

 sp., Passadumkeag, Maine, Oct. 9, 1939. 9, from pupa of Lepidop- 

 tera, Apr. 28, 1916, F. A. Fenton. 



This species occurs in the Alleghanian fauna. It is adult from spring 

 to fall.

Male : Similar to the male of C. aequalis except that the middle tibia 

 averages darker and is usually distinctly infuscate basad of the pale 

 band. Also, the face may be perceptibly more densely punctate than 

 in C. aequalis. These differences permit a reasonably safe determina- 

 tion for about 30 percent of the better marked males but the rest are 

 hardly distinguishable from males of C. aequalis, and unless there is 

 great need for a name it is usually more prudent not to try to determine 

 the species of any males of this type. 



Female: Front wing 4.0 to 8.0 mm. long; face rather densely punc- 

 tate, the punctures on submedian part of face sharp and moderately 

 coarse, separated by about 0.5 their diameter; temple in profile about 

 0.50 as long as eye; mesoscutum with moderately dense hairs all over; 

 lower part of mesopleurum with small sharp punctures that are sep- 

 arated by about 2.0 their diameter; metapleurum with small punctures
