Remarks
Thomas Say, American Entomology:
"A specimen was presented to me, when at Fort Osage, on the Missouri river, by Lieut. Scott, of the Rifle regiment, a gentleman, whose extraordinary skill as a marksman, has almost passed into a proverb, in that country. I obtained two other specimens during the progress of Major Long's exploring party towards the mountains." (Say 1824)
