Natural history. The only natural history notes with males are 
in four North Carolina collections made from the pitcher plant, 
( Sarracenia ftava L.). Of a total of six collection notes for females, 
three are from the pitcher plant while the remainder include pine, 
Spanish moss, and forest litter. Several notes from collections of 
immatures typically include sifting, Spanish moss, and sweeping. 
Males were collected during May, June, and July, but most are 
from June. Females were collected during March through June, 
with the majority from the latter month. Only two egg sacs were 
found in the material examined, and both were from collections made 
during June. Both egg sacs were 5 mm in diameter and were spher- 
ical with a thin white covering through which one could easily see 
the eggs inside. Nothing is known of nursery construction or other 
reproductive behavior. 
Distribution. Southern coastal plain, lower Piedmont of eastern 
North America from Maryland southward to southern Florida and 
westward to Kansas and southern Texas. (Map 4). 
Material examined. Sixteen males, 21 females, 106 immatures.
