terminal apophysis, by the large, swollen basal process on the 
median apophysis, and by the long, distinctly tapered median 
septum of which the posterior expanded part has concave lateral 
margins. 
Range. Kansas to New Jersey, south to New Mexico, southern 
Texas, and Florida. 
Natural History. Males and females have been collected in every 
month except December. Egg sacs were collected from March to 
May and from July to November. The commonest habitat is grassy 
pastures, but many specimens have been taken at stream or pond 
margins or in crops such as alfalfa, soybeans, sweet potatoes, and 
peanuts. Muma (1973) trapped specimens in citrus groves and pine 
flat-woods in Florida.
