Flower records include Ceanothus americanus and Vicia near 

 pulchella. A female taken at Manhattan, Kans., Oct. 28, 1949, by 

 R. Fischer was transporting a young Ij'cosid with all legs cut off. 

 Peckham (1905) records "Lycosa kochii" and Maevia vittata as prey. 



This species occurs from the Atlantic to the Rock}' Mountains, as 

 far north as Quebec and south to Costa Rica. Its nest of mud cells 

 is placed usually under stones. Most adults are on the wing from 

 June 1 to Sept. 15. Walsh and Riley, and Peckham have reported 

 on the biology.
