 Ga~, Fla., Ohio, Wise., Minn., la., Kans., Mo., Ark., Texas, 

 Ariz. (Mexico).

Swept from grass in flatwoods at Helena, Miss., July

 the floor of high pine land at Ellisville, Miss., Aug. 24, 1920,

Melichar distinguishes a variety of this species from 

 Georgia, giving it the varietal name rubescens, in which 

 the entire body and elytra are reddish-brown, venation 

 bright, and the dark lateral longitudinal stripes are missing.
