Lake Okeechobee, La Belle, Cape 

 Sable, Key West and Dunedin, Fla., Jan. 

 29 Mch. 7 (W.8-B.) About Dunedin 

 this bush cricket is in winter much less 

 common than the next, my only adult 

 male having been taken Jan. 29 by beat- 

 ing mangrove on Hog Island. At 'Cape 

 Sable and Key West it was taken in 

 numbers by beating mangrove and other 

 shrubs. It is, in the main, a submaritime 

 species and has been recorded from nu- 

 merous stations in Florida between 

 Jacksonville and Key West. On the 

 southern keys it is especially common on 

 the dahoon holly, Ilex casslne L. 



This species was originally described 

 from St. Vincent's Island and is known 

 from the Bermudas, Bahamas and Cuba. 

 In the United States it inhabits the 

 southern portion of the Lower Austral 

 zone from Beaufort, N. Car. as far west 

 as Brazos County, Texas. Over this range it is said by R. & H. 

 (1012a, 200) to be rather plentiful in bayberry and other heavy 

 bushes, and is sometimes found in numbers on the ground among 

 leaves and low plants under live oaks. 



The LipJiophis krugii Sauss. (1897, 232) from Cuba, the J/Y>r/- 

 wiirtistus slossoni Scudder (lS97f) from Biscayne Bay, Fla-, and
