north in the Mississippi basin to Indiana. La Ferte men- 
tions that the specimens in his collection were collected in 
Texas by Pilate and that the Dejean collection contained 
specimens sent by Leconte. Considering the date of the 
publication, it is most likely that the specimens were sent 
by the elder LeConte. In this event they most likely would 
have been collected in Georgia. Both eastern Texas and 
Georgia are within the range of the species as here under- 
stood, although no specimens collected in Georgia have 
been examined. 
Specimens examined have come from the following 
localities: Alabama: Central Mills, Jan. 25, 1928, Wood- 
ruff. Florida: Ch. Hbr. ; DeLand; Jacksonville, July, 1943, 
G. S. Hensill; Lake Placid, Mar. and April; Lake Wam- 
birg, Mar.; Orlando, Mar.; Ormond; Sand Pt., Feb.; 
Winter Park. Indiana: Vermillion Co., Aug. 17, W. S. 
Blatchley. Louisiana: Harahan, Oct., Nov., 1944, at light,

This is the most abundant species from New Jersey to 
Virginia, west to Illinois and Arkansas. It ranges more 
widely than this, from New Jersey to Florida west to 
northern Wisconsin and coastal Texas. It has not yet been 
identified from New England.
