Bruner, Laurence. Biol. Centr.-Amei"., Orth. II, p. 175 (1906). 



This species occurs thi'oughout the Dry Belt of British Columbia 

 from the United States Boundary to the Chilcotin District on Parallel 

 52. Both red and yellow-winged varieties occur, the yellow-winged being 

 the most plentiful. (This species was incorrectly recorded by the writer 

 as Metator pardalinus Saussure in the Proceedings of the British Col- 

 umbia Entomological Society, No. 18, p. 35, Systematic Series, 1921). This 

 was a very abundant species in the Chilcotin District in 1920, where, with 

 Spharagemon aequale Say, they caused an outbreak of considerable 

 extent along the Bunch-grass terraces of the Eraser and Chilcotin Rivers, 

 and damaged the grass on the winter cattle ranges.

Seudder, Samuel H. Psyche., Vol. IX, p. 91 (1900).

 its distribution. It has been taken on hot, dry patches of gravelly ground 

 at Okanagan Landing and in the City Limits of Kamloops close to the 

 Kamloops Hospital.
