This species may possibly not be oriental, being mainl}^ a North 

 American one. I include it on the ground that an example from 

 Formosa received by Theobald appears to him. to be probably 

 sollicitans. 



The larva breeds in brackish water and is common on the 

 Atlantic seaboard of America.
