Kansas (Baldwin, Cowley County, Doniphan County, Douglas 

 County, Lawrence, Manhattan, and Marshall County); Louisiana 

 (Opelousas) ; Maryland (Glen Echo) ; New Mexico (near Alamogordo 

 and Las Vegas); North Carolina (Raleigh); Ohio (Columbus); South 

 Carolina (Columbia); Texas (Brownsville); and Virginia (Falls 

 Church). 



The species seems generally distributed in the Carolinian, Austro- 

 riparian, and Lower Sonoran faunal areas. Adults occur mostly in 

 June, July, and August. At Washington, D. C, they have been taken 

 from June 9 to Aug. 18; at Raleigh, N. C, from May 23 to Sept. 8, 

 and a female was taken at Blythe, Calif., on Oct. 3. There seems to 

 be no difference in the flight season of the sexes. A female from 

 Baldwin, Kans. and another from Raleigh, N. C, were taken whUe 

 transporting immature specimens of Agelenopsis sp. Both sexes have 

 been taken in numbers at the nectaries of Cassia nictitans, and at 

 Raleigh, N. C, both sexes were found frequenting a sunlit bare red- 

 clay bank, the females showing some interest in exploring the drying 

 cracks. One of the females caught there had the top of the head and 

 thorax plastered with dried red mud.
