(Boulder) ; District of Columbia (Washington) ; Iowa (Iowa City and 

 Sioux City); Kansas (Lawrence, Onaga, and Riley County); Mary- 

 land (Cabin John, Plummers Island, and Takoma Park); Minnesota 

 (St. Anthony Park); New Jersey (Camden and Moorestown); North 

 Carolina (Crabtree Meadows in Yancey County at 3,600 ft.); Ohio 

 (Athens); Ontario (Ottawa); Pennsylvania (Arendtsville and Mount 

 Holly Springs); Texas (Devils River, Fedor, McLennan County, 

 Victoria, and Williamson County); Virginia (Arlington, Dixie Land-

Most collection dates are from late in May through August. Un- 

 usually early and late records of interest are: Apr. 1 to 6 at Needles, 

 Calif.; Apr. 2 at Victoria, Tex.; Apr, 11 at Guayamas, Mexico; May 5 

 at Devils River, Tex.; May 24 at Lawrence, Kans.; May 28 at Athens, 

 Ohio; Oct. 5 at Onaga, Kans., Oct. 9 in Williamson County, Tex.; 

 and Oct. 23, reared from a pomegranate from Mexico.

Rearing records are as follows: 9, reared Apr. 2, 1907, from cell 

 found under bark, Victoria, Tex., J. D. Mitchell; 3cf , reared Oct. 23, 

 1931, from mud cells taken from pomegranate from Mexico, J. D. 

 Smith; cf, 9, emerged May 28, 1940, from material collected Feb. 10, 

 1940, at Athens, Ohio. The type material of subcorticalis was from 

 mud cells found under bark and this form was originally differentiated 

 from A. architectus partly by the fact that the cells were placed under 

 bark rather than under stones. 



The range of this subspecies covers most of the United States, 

 southern Canada, and Northern Mexico. It overlaps the range of 

 the Southeastern subspecies caerulescens, but apparently not the range 

 of the subspecies floridanus of Florida to South Carolina. Adults 

 occur from late spring to early fall. The mud cells are placed under 

 loose bark.
