that of picta, but as this can hardly be appreciated without actual 

 comparison of specimens, we have not given it in the above table. 



Specimens from Winter Park, New Hanover County, North 

 Carolina, have the proportions of the wings intermediate between 

 the extremes of marmorata and picta, while the bands of the wings 

 are no wider than in marmorata and of similar form, although the 

 color of the disk is closer to picta in several specimens and exactly 

 intermediate in others. Several of these specimens also have traces 

 of the decussate pronotal markings of marmorata, while the character 

 of the median carina of the pronotum and of the pronotal constriction 

 i> closer to picta. From these notes it can easily be seen that the 

 characters of the two forms are blended in the individuals from 

 southeastern North Carolina. In consequence of this we have used 

 a trinomial for this form. 



The specimens from Miami were taken in the pine woods. 



Psinidia fenestralis (Seiv.). 



Palm Beach, Fla,, November 12, 1910 (Englehardt) ; 1 d 1 , 1 9 

 [B. I.]. 

 Miami, Fla., March 28, 1910; 5 cf , 4 9 , 1 n. 



The coloration of the disk of the wings in this series ranges from 

 orange-buff to orange. The species was found fairly abundant in 

 sandy spots in the pine woods. 

 Romalea microptera (Beauv.). 



Miami, Fla., March 28, 1910; 1 n. 

 Homestead, Fla., March 17, 18, 1910; 4 n. 



Four of these specimens are in the same nymphal stage and would 

 all approximate a length of 12 mm. if not shrunken. The remaining 

 specimen, from Homestead, is apparently in the following nymphal 

 stage and is 19 mm. in length. 



The coloration of nymphs of this species is constant, all are black 

 marked with yellowish-red, as is fairly well shown by Glover 22 in his 

 illustration of the nymph of this species. These markings, contrary 

 to that illustration, border only the caudal margin of the pronotum, 

 and in the specimens in the more immature stage before us are 

 orange-vermilion. The specimen in the nymphal stage following 

 has these markings colored sat urn red. We have noticed that the 

 newly emerged nymphs of this species have these markings nearly • 

 vermilion, while in the nymphs approaching maturity the same 

 markings are usually cadmium-yellow.
