 species occurs in eastern Ohio but is "rare in the State." It 

 has been recorded by Nash" as "Tolerably common in south- 

 western Ontario, less frequently eastward."' There are ap- 

 parently no records for Michigan. 



During the summer of 19x5 the species was found in three 

 localities in the state, near ^Manistique, Schoolcraft County, by
