Extensive seasonal data for Washington, D. C, record males on the 

 wing from June 15 to Aug. 6 and females from June 18 to Oct. 5, with 

 most of the females taken in July, August, and September. In 

 warmer climates females have been taken a little earlier and later, as 

 on May 3 at Fedor, Tex., May 18 to 21 at Spring Creek, Ga., May 21 

 at Coachella, Calif., and Nov. 18 in St. Johns County, Fla. Three 

 of the specimens have with them the prey they were carrying when 

 captured: 9, Washington, D. C, Sept. 6, 1946, M. Vogel, with an 

 immature of Lycosa avara; 9 , Washington, D. C, July 1945, M. 

 Vogel, with an immature of Lycosa sp; and 9, Riverhead, N. Y,, 

 Aug. 1, 1917, Wm. T. Davis, with an immature of Lycosa sp. Vogel 

 reports that he has taken this species a number of times with prey. 

 In each case the legs had been taken off, but palpi were still present. 



This species is transcontinental, mostly in the Upper Austral Zone. 

 Adults are commonest in July, August, and September. Immature 

 specimens of Lycosa constitute the prey.
