 Greatest width of tegmina, 7.58 mm. (Fig. 1G4.) 



Punta Gorda, Fla., Nov. 15 17 (Daris). Known only from 

 the southern third of Florida and the adjacent keys, March No- 

 vember. K. & H. (1014e,

 West in July it was taken 

 only at night on button- 

 wood. Conocarpns erecta

stalked with flash lamp, by the aid of their song- which was low 

 and rasping, much like zn-p-~rr/>-.;'rrp. At Punta Gorda Davis 

 found it not uncommon in November in a clump of mangroves. 



VI IT. PHRIXA Stal, 1874, 10. (Gr., "bristling.") 



Species of large size and broad form, having the occiput con- 

 vex; fastigium of vertex horizontal, subterete, often silicate, not 

 continuous with frontal fastigium; eyes small, globose; antennae 

 longer than body, setaceous; disk of pronotum compressed, con- 

 vex, rounded into the lateral lobes, the latter perpendicular, deeper 

 than long, their front and hind margins nearly straight and round- 

 ed into the subangulate lower margin ; tegmina very broad, cor- 

 iaceous, opaque, longer than wings, their apical third obliquely 

 truncate, the overlapping anal field triangular, very short in male, 

 densely punctate-reticulate, with stridulatiug vein subobsolete 

 above on the left tegmen ; all the femora sulcate and armed with 

 several small spines beneath; lobes of mesosternum rounded, of 

 metasternum, transverse, truncate behind. Males with supra-anal 

 plate elonga te- triangular ; cerci and subgenital plate variable as 

 to species. Females with ovipositor rather long, moderately 

 curved; narrower at base than middle, the apex oblique, subacum- 

 inate, remotely serrate on both edges; subgential plate triangular, 

 obtuse. 



This genus forms a sort of connecting link between the sub- 

 families Phaneropterinse and Pseudophyllinse, and was, until 1014, 

 supposed to be confined to Mexico, six species having been de- 

 scribed from that country, one of which is now known to occur in 

 Florida. 



225. PHRIXA MAYA Saussure & Pictet, 1897, 334. Yucatan Katydid. 



Size large, form robust. Uniform leaf-green, the abdomen fading to 

 greenish-yellow. Occiput sparsely subgranulate; fastigium of vertex dis- 

 tinctly impressed, but slightly surpassing the scrobes of antennae; lower 

 margin of lateral lobes oblique, subsinuate. Tegmina as described above,
