TETTIGONIID^]. 

 Stilpnochlora marginella (Serv.). 



Lake Worth, Fla., June 24, 1889; eggs [U. S. N. M.]. 

 Key West, Fla., March 16, 1910; 1 9 : April 24, 1881 (Schwarz) ; 

 1 adult [U. S. N. M.]. 



The collection of the Academy contains a male specimen labelled 

 " Fla. " This individual has been compared with material from Cuba, 

 Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Cayenne. The only previous 

 records of this species from within the United States were those 

 from the Tortugas by Scudder 44 from Chokoloskee, Fla., by the 

 authors 45 and from Florida by Caudell. 46 



The specimen taken by the junior author was beaten from a high 

 bush, Ilex cassine, some ten feet from the ground, and when opened 

 for stuffing was found to contain one hundred and twenty-four fully 

 developed and fourteen partially developed eggs. The specimen is 

 somewhat battered, and it is probable that very few specimens of the 

 species survive the winter in this region.
