This is one of the early Spring species, the larvae of which live in the 

 pools formed by the melting snows. They hatch from overwinter- 

 ing eggs and are all developed by the first of May. There is only one 

 generation a year. The species have a northern range. Our local- 

 ities for this species are Springfield, Mass. (Dimmock), Plattsburgh, 

 N. Y, (Dyar), Kaslo, B. C (Dyar). We have no records from further 

 North because no collections have been made there.

We have this peculiar larva from Dr. Grabham from Jamaica. A 

 description has been published by the senior author, which is in error 

 in stating that the long lateral hairs are absent ; they are really present, 

 although they have been broken off nearly all the specimens.

This species ranges widely, from New Hampshire to Almolova, 

 Oaxaca, Mexico, where it was taken bv the junior author. The only 

 breeding places are the pot holes in rocks beside swift streams or 

 cavities in rocks on the shores of lakes, filled by the waves during 

 storms. It is remarkable that the species should be able to with- 

 stand the rush of water in flood, even if it be in the egg state.
