traps, and both sexes frequent the same places. I have seen 
New England examples from Middlesex Fells, Sherborn, and 
Wellesley, Mass.; Lyme, and New Haven, Ct., and also a 
female from Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, taken by Mr. C. W.

Male 25-28 22-23 4.4-5.4 5.7-7 8-9 24-28 
Female 16-19 9-11 5-6 6-7 6-6.5 18-20 mm.

cover two-thirds or more of the abdomen.

Neck, Me., and Winthrop, Mass.; Walden from Mt. Carmel, Ct., 
June 18, July 10. I have a nymph, May 2; a female taken under 
burlap by E. J. Smith, no date; and a male, June 21, taken by 
C. A. Frost, all from Sherborn, Mass. On July 9, 1904, males.
