This ear^vig was taken a mile southwest of 

 Mt. Vernon, Posey County, on April 9, 

 1901. It was found to be fairly common 

 beneath rubbish and leaves in some woods 

 along the bank of the Ohio River. It has 

 not been noted elsewhere in the State, 

 though it is liable to be found anywhere 

 within its bounds as its range includes the northern United States 

 east of the Mississippi River. The type specimens came from nortli- 

 ern Illinois and southern Michijran.
