In the eastern part of the state this species seemed to be 

 quite common. It was numerous on the upper })art of the 

 flats around Devils and Stump lakes, among bushes and tall 

 herbaceous vegetation ; also in the margins of the woods bor- 

 dering the lakes and streams of this region. In the Turtle 

 Mountains the species was very common in similar habitats ; 

 specimens were taken in brush\- clearings, roadside thickets, 

 and meadows of tall herbage. At Ijottineau specimens were 

 found in a thick growth of low bushes — silverleaf, honeysuckle, 

 and roses — mingLd with tall Compositae and other plants, in 

 a small depression on the prairie. Scuddcria pistillata was 

 less common in the drier western portion of the state; a single 

 female was taken in tall grass along the side, of a road on the 

 flats of the Missouri River at Buford. and at Amidon a male 

 was beaten from a thick tangle of low bushes and tall weeds 

 in the head of a gully in the Bad Lands.
