SUBFAMILY IV. COXOCEI'HALIXJE. .">!( 



Not known elsewhere from that State. The hind femora in the 

 original description were said to be unarmed, and Davis 

 (11)08, 223) therefore redescribed this species as 0. crusculiiin from 

 specimens taken at Tuckerton, N. Jer., and on Staten Island, N. Y., 

 most of which had the femora armed. Since that date it has been 

 found at numerous places along the coast from Long Island to 

 south Georgia. It occurs for the most part among the tall marsh 

 grasses, 8p(irtina, and rushes, Scirpus, growing on the tidal flats 

 and in the adjoining brackish marshes.

LaGrange, Fla., Sept. 13 (Davis). Described from three spec- 

 imens taken Aug. 17 at Gainesville, Fla., from a marshy sinkhole 

 in pine woods. Other recorded localities in that State .ore Jack- 

 sonville, Atlantic Beach, Crestview and Detroit. The known 

 range of this trim-bodied species extends from Speedwell, N. Jer.. 

 south to southern Florida, Nugent, Miss., and southeastern Louisi- 

 ana. It is an inland species, found for the most part among 

 grasses in open pine woods and along the borders of marshes 

 and lakes.

 brownish-green; lower half of lateral lobes and meso- and metapleura 

 brighter green; occiput and prozona usually with two dark stripes which 

 are feebly divergent; hind tibiae and ovipositor pale reddish-brown. Fas- 

 tigium narrow at base, moderately ascending, its apical portion wider with 

 sides rounded. Pronotum short, subsellate in male; lateral lobes as long
