The dates of capture group in such a way as to indicate two genera- 

 tions a season, the first emerging in mid-spring and lasting into early 

 summer, the second emerging in late summer and lasting into early 

 fall. Early and late dates of capture for the first generation are: 

 May 10 at Amherst, Mass.; May 11 at Buffalo, N. Y.; May 13 at 

 Spring Brook, Pa.; June 20 at Knowlton, Que.; June 27 at Waweig, 

 N. B.; and June 23 at Annapolis Royal and in Kings Co., N. S. 

 Early and late dates for the second generation are: September 1 at 

 Ithaca, N. Y.; September 2 at Little Deer Island, Me.; September 8 

 at Truro, N. S.; September 16 at Columbia, Mo.; September 22 at 

 Chardon, Ohio; October 1 to 7 at Shaver's Fork in Tucker County, 

 W. Va. ; and October 11 at Greenville, S. C. There are a few dates of 

 capture between these two generations: "July" in Greene County, 

 N. Y. ; July 31 at Waskesiu, Sask.; and August 20 at Woodstock, Vt. 



We have found the species in overgrown weedy meadows, in rather 

 dry situations. On October 2, 1941 , males in some numbers were found 

 flying around the tops of weeds in dry open places, at Greenville, 

 S. C, in the manner characteristic of Exochus males. 



This species occurs in the Alleghenian and Carolinian faunas, in 

 weedy, rather dry situations. There is an early and a late season 

 generation.
