 eyes, underside of thorax, tips of tibiae and tarsi darker, sometimes 

 black. Length 8-10 mm. 



Neides muticus ranges from Quebec and British Columbia south 

 to Xew Jersey, in the mountains to Georgia, and to Ohio. Kansas. 

 Arizona and California. A specimen in the National Collection is 

 labelled Duval Co.. Fla., but this record would seem to need cor- 

 roboration.
