  This 
  beautiful, 
  golden-winged, 
  southern 
  species 
  is 
  not 
  hkely 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  

   in 
  the 
  state 
  except 
  near 
  the 
  coast. 
  A 
  few 
  years 
  ago 
  Prof. 
  A. 
  L. 
  Quaint- 
  

   ance 
  reared 
  the 
  species 
  at 
  Lake 
  City 
  Fla., 
  and 
  very 
  kindly 
  sent 
  me 
  the 
  

   bred 
  specimen 
  with 
  its 
  cast 
  skin, 
  and 
  some 
  nymphs 
  in 
  alcohol. 
  I 
  have 
  

   several 
  times 
  since 
  received 
  the 
  nymphs 
  from 
  other 
  localities 
  in 
  the 
  south. 
  

   I 
  have 
  not 
  seen 
  the 
  species 
  at 
  large.

  more 
  

   hairy; 
  the

  lobe 
  of

  in 
  the 
  middle 
  

   of 
  its 
  front 
  border; 
  lateral 
  setae 
  five; 
  mental

  forming 
  a 
  larger 
  series; 
  movable 
  hook 
  rather 
  stout 
  and 
  little 
  

   curved;

  on 
  the 
  

   dorsal 
  side, 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  above 
  as 
  the 
  loth 
  segment; 
  dorsal 
  hooks 
  on 
  

   segments 
  3 
  or 
  4-8, 
  straight, 
  and 
  sharp

  This 
  species 
  has 
  not 
  as 
  yet 
  been 
  taken 
  in 
  the 
  state 
  : 
  it 
  is 
  almost 
  sure 
  

   to 
  be 
  found 
  there 
  eventually. 
  It 
  ranges 
  from 
  New 
  Hampshire 
  to 
  Texas, 
  

   and 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  common 
  in 
  places 
  in 
  Ohio. 
  Its 
  nymph 
  is 
  unknown.
