20 JOURNAL, or ENTOMOLOGY AND ZOOLOGY 



Tliis species is comniou in the Canadian life zone and may 

 extend into tlie lludsonian. In the east it extends a little 

 farther south ah)ng the Alleghanies than does favicuniis. In 

 the west it extends, so far as known, only slightly south of the 

 Canadian l)order; south of this it is replaced by the very 

 closely allied calif oruiciii<, which indeed has often been looked 

 upon as siiui)ly a \ariety. 



In the southeast it is replaced by taxudvi, to which it is 

 closely related.

The writer took a typical female specimen flying about 

 cypress on Spring Creek, fourteen miles from Bainbridge in 

 the extreme southwestern part of Georgia, October 1, 1910. A
