SUBFAMILY I. TETRIGINJE. 173 



din but four of the long form have been found among the 30 or 

 more taken. Morse (1904, 25) and R. & H. (1916, 135) have 

 shown that N. bolivari Hancock (1898, 139) and its long form, 

 lonuijtcnnis Hancock (1902, 165), as well as N. rotundifrons and 

 A . rariabilis Hancock are all synonyms of N. fcnioratus.

Knox County, Ind., April 23, nymphs; July 1 6, adults (W. 

 $. B.}. Occurs throughout Florida, there being numerous records 

 from Barrancas and Monticello to Miami and Key West. Ranges 

 from Petersburg, Virginia and southern Indiana south to Key 

 West, Fla., and west to eastern Texas. 



The first Indiana specimen, a female, was taken from the bor- 

 der of a large cypress swamp in Knox County on July 6, 1902. A 

 second visit to the place on April 23, 1903, resulted only in the 

 finding of four half-grown nymphs. The whole swam]) was then 

 covered with water several feet in depth, and the young were 

 found in company with the young and adults of other Tetrigids 

 on the higher ground bordering the water, within ten feet of its 

 margin and only a few rods from the nearest cypress trees. On 

 July 1, two additional females were taken at the same place and 

 the species was described by me (1903, 226) as Ncoictti.T hancocki. 

 This name, as well as N. coarctatus Hancock (1902, 165) and Apo- 

 tctti.r niinntus R. & H. (1905, 34) have been placed in synonymy 

 under lioltcri by R. & H. (3916, 144). Outside of Indiana bolteri 

 is said to occur in marshy sink holes, in wet weedy spots and 

 among low undergrowth in pine woods. The form with long pro- 

 notum. in in nt us R. & H., is so far known only from central and 

 southern Florida.
