 ably at the apex; furcula consisting of a pair of adjacent, parallel, 

 pretty long and coarse, strongly depressed, somewhat tapering, blunt

 Morse) ; Oberlin, Lorain County, Ohio, September 21, coll. L. Jones, W. 

 S. Blatchley. Mr. Blatchley has also taken it in a tamarack swamp in 

 Fulton County, Indiana, and says it is found abundantly from August 

 to October. It was found around the margins of a pond in Vigo County 

 and in Ohio in a swamp in woods. 



Mr. Lynds Jones writes me that it is "found in abundance in the 

 rank vegetation which sprang up in a dry swamp surrounded by woods" 

 in the vicinity of Oberlin, Ohio. 



Mr. Blatchley 1 describes the colors of the living insect.
