A single damaged example was taken August 5. This species in one 

 or more of its varieties inhabits the greater part of the United Stat«>s, 

 excepting, perhaps, the high mountains, and it spreads over the border 

 into the Provinces of Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia. It is 

 found also in Mexico and on the peninsula of Lower California.
