This interesting insect has been recorded from Nebraska by 

 Uhler and Wickham (VanDuzee). On July 7, 1908, I secured a 

 single male at Lincoln from a mass of driftwood during floods. 

 The species seems to be rare wherever found.

Represented in the collection by a female taken in Warbonnet 

 canyon, May 20, 1901 (L. Bruner), and a series of five males and

 6, fig. 6. 



This variety was recorded from Nebraska by Uhler in 1877 

 {Bidl. U. S. Geol. Geog. Surz\, III, No. 2, p. 401). Uhler sepa- 

 rated it from typical undata by the characters given in the above 

 " key " but I am unable to refer any of the specimens before me to 

 this form.]
