are the predominant sex in these collections, are distinctly larger 
than the Ohio males as indicated by the Measurements, but the 
similarity of coloration, genitalic structure, and anatomical propor- 
tions led me to think that only one species is represented. The 
southern populations are simply larger in size. 
Natural History. Andrew Penniman (personal communication) 
collected this species in some abundance by using pitfall traps in a 
wooded area in central Ohio. The collecting period extended from 
24 April to 28 August 1973 and the relative abundance of the sexes 
taken in these traps is indicated in the records below. Four females 
with egg cases were collected from 29 May- 12 June. The egg cases 
contained 53, 56, 91, and 106 eggs. Tim Lockley (personal commun- 
ication) also captured this species in pitfall traps placed at the edge 
of a deciduous woods in Mississippi. Most of these specimens were 
males as indicated in the records below. A single female with egg 
case was collected between 3-6 June 1983. 
Distribution. Ohio southeastward to western Florida and south-
