General color walnut-brown, passing ventrad into russet and 

 tawny-olive, the narrow but moderately denned median line on the 

 head and pronotum russet, while the anal area of the tegmina is 

 wood-brown, margined laterad by the burnt-umber wash of the 

 remainder of the tegmina. Antennae passing from cinnamon-rufous 

 at the base to hazel at the tips; eyes russet.

In addition to the type and allotypic female we have before us 

 the following specimens which may be considered paratypic: 



Miami, Fla., March 27, 28, 1910; 7 d\ 2 9 : November 16, 1911 

 (Englehardt) ; 2 9 [B. I.]. 

 Homestead, Fla., March 17-19, 1910; 7 <?. 



The male individuals are fairly uniform in coloration, some few 

 specimens having the general tone deeper and more umber, while 

 others have the discoidal field of the tegmina distinctly crypto- 

 maculate. The additional Miami females, however, have the gen- 

 eral colors more clay color and bistre, with the pronotum strongly 

 marked with the latter and the discoidal and marginal fields of the 

 tegmina strongly maculate with the same, the caudal tibiae also 

 being quite purplish. These specimens greatly resemble brownish 

 individuals of S. alutacea. 



In studying this form we have had before us a series of over one 

 hundred and forty specimens of the two forms from south of Virginia, 

 a sufficient series to enable us to map with considerable accuracy 

 the limits of the range of both forms. 



True damnifica probably ranges over the entire Upper Austral 

 Zone, extending southward over the Appalachian system as far as 

 Gainesville and Atlanta, Ga., and eastward over the lower country 

 to Raleigh, N. C. The specimens from Raleigh and Atlanta show a 

 slight approach to S. damnifica calidior, but in general form they are 

 much closer to the northern type. The new form is typical north- 



23 The specimens whose measurements are here given are from Stafford's 

 Forge, N. J., and have been used for comparison with the new form as well as 

 having been figured above.
