A rather rare species in this locality and of little economic importance. Plains, Aug. 3, 1920.
This very black species is by no means abundant but taken largely in low ground, the borders of bogs and in tote-roads. Evidently living upon the small grasses that have worked into the forest habitat. Cranberry Lake, Aug. 10, 1917; July 3, 1920. Wanakena, July and Aug., 1920.

Apparently rare as only a very few specimens have been taken. It was described from Maine where it oeciired in similar boggy situations. Wanakena, Aug. 1-7, 1917.
Euscelis comma (Van Duzee).
Quite rare in this vicinity. Its food plant not noted lmt in Town it was taken on Elymus. Barber Point, July 5. 1920. Camp " tote road ". Ranger School, July 15 and Aug. 12. 1920. Sev eral specimens, including long and short winged females taken near Bean Pond in tote-road on low grass. Grasse River, July 22, 1920. Plains, Aug. 3, 1920.
This species is common throughout a large range of the country from Canada to the Carolinas. It is usually found in woodland tracts, generally where there is some moisture. Specimens have been taken at the camp in July and Aug., 1917 and 1920. also at various points in the higher ground around the Ranger School on Aug. 15, and at the top of Bear Mountain, Aug. 15, 1920, and upon other elevated crests. The species is of some economic importance.
