Remarks. The extreme variations to which this species is sub- 
ject, both in size and coloration, have resulted in a multiplicity of 
names; but inasmuch as all varieties have the same range, none 
may be given subspecific value on the basis of geographic dis- 
tribution. Hentz defined two groups (tribes) based on the arrange- 
ment of the eyes; in the first, the Arcuatae, the anterior row straight ; 
in the second, the Biarcuatae, the anterior row procurved. Viewed 
from above, the first row may appear slightly recurved or straight 
but from in front, a slight procuvature is evident in all varieties. 
The names applied by Hentz to color varieties of this species follow:

totally unlike the Abbot drawing. It is evident, therefore, that 
Walckenaer had specimens before him when he wrote his account. 
Habits. Overwintered specimens of all sizes and ages are found 
in the spring and some reach maturity and deposit their eggs as 
early as the last week of May or the first of June; thereafter 
mature specimens with eggs or young may be found throughout
