Distribution: This species occurs in the western part of the 

 state as shown by the following- map. The records from Wal- 

 lace, Logan and Rooks counties are those of the Kansas State 

 Agricultural College. Van Duzee records it from Colorado and 

 New Mexico. Accordingly Kansas would seem to be the east- 

 ern limit of its range.
