pepsinae: tribe pepsini 111 



neighboring subspecies in the Transition and Upper Austral Zones 

 (hyalinatus alienatus) intergrade freely and collections from localities 

 bordering between Canadian and Transition usually contain speci- 

 mens assignable (on the division adopted here) to both subspecies. 



Specimens (619): From British Columbia (Revelstoke and Steel- 

 head) ; Maine (Bangor, Brooksville, Lincoln County, Monroe, and 

 Orono) ; Massachusetts (Cummington, Newton Center, Sagamore, 

 and Stony Brook Reserve); Michigan (Ann Arbor, Roscommon 

 County, and Sand Point in Huron County); Minnesota (Lake Itasca 

 and Marshall County) ; New Brunswick (Tabusintac) ; New Hamp- 

 shire (Tuckerman's Ravine on Mount Washington); New York 

 (Chaffee, Buffalo, Fort Montgomery, Gardiners Island, Ithaca, 

 Jamaica south on Long Island, Mount Whiteface at 2,000 to 4,000 

 ft., Port Jefferson on Long Island, Tottenville on Staten Island, and 

 Woodhaven) ; Nova Scotia (Elings County and Middle River on Cape 

 Breton Island) ; Ontario (Gananoque, Merivale, Orillia, Ottawa, 

 Simcoe, and Sudbury) ; Quebec (Aylmer, Hemmingford, Joliette, and 

 St. Anne) ; Prince Edward Island (Alberton) ; and Washington 

 (Seattle and Westport). Collection dates are mostly from June 22 

 to the end of August. Those outside of this range are: June 9 at 

 Woodhaven, Long Island, N. Y. ; Sept. 3 at Tuckerman's Ravine on 

 Mount Washington, N. H.; Sept. 19 at Seattle, Wash.; and Sept. 25 

 at Orono, Maine. A number of males collected within the range of 

 this subspecies are not reported here because only their locality data 

 would permit a definite assignment to a subspecies. 



This subspecies is transcontinental in the Canadian Zone and the 

 cooler parts of the Transition Zone. The flight period is mostly from 

 June 22 to Aug. 31.
