The bulk of the specimens here recorded may be placed 

 under the variants pemisylvanicus Burmeister and luctuosus 

 Serville, the former being much more numerous ; a few rep- 

 resent neglectus Scudder, and a single specimen agrees with 

 the characters given for sciidderianus Saussure, except that 

 the ovipositor is too short. A considerable number of the 

 specimens present combinations of characters which will not 

 allow them to be placed under any of these standard or "typ- 

 ical" variants. 



This species was common in a variety of habitats during 

 the entire season from June 19 to September 9. Specimens 

 were taken in the following situations : grassy fields and pas- 

 tures throughout the region ; cultivated fields and orchards ; 

 open, grassy woods and clearings ; brushy fields ; sand and 

 mud-bar herbage; moist meadows; and beach grass and bunch
