A common species in the lake region of Illinois, but not observed 

 as far south as Urbana. The adult female is closely related to caruncii- 

 latum and ciznle, from which it may be separated by means of the 

 wing venation, the vein Mg usually arising between the third and 

 fourth postnodal cross-veins, by the narrower pale abdominal rings at 

 the bases of the terga, and by the character of the mesostigmal plates. 

 The males are easily separated from carunciilatiim and civile by means 

 of the anal appendages.
