This is a widely distributed species, common in various parts of the 

 Union, and found also in Canada and Mexico. In Massachusetts I 

 swept it from a species of Solidago, and from different kinds of herbs 

 growing in and about damp spots. Near Baltimore it may be met 

 with upon the Cephalanthus occidentalism and occasionally upon black- 

 berry bushes or grape vines.
