Jewfish, Fla., July 11, 1912; 1 c^, 2 9 . 



Key West, Fla., July 3-7, 1912; 7 cT, 9 9 . 



Loggerhead Key, Dry Tortugas, Fla., July 8, 1912; 7 cf , 7 9 . 



The color phases of this species are well illustrated bj^ the above 

 series. No approach whatever is shown to Chortophaga cuhensis 

 (Sc). 



Spharagemon crepitans (Sauss.). 



Key West, Fla., July 7, 1912; 2 cT^, 4 9 . 



The specimens of this splendid insect from the above locality are 

 the most attenuate of a series of 37 individuals of the species before 

 us. Length of body, d' d" 26.7-27.3 mm., 9 9 34.-37.; length of 

 tegmen, dd 30.2-32.2, 9 9 34.-35.8. The caudal tibia? lack 

 the bright red coloration of Spharagemon bolli as is true of the entire 

 series of this species before us. 



The only situation in which this species was found was on the 

 ground under bushes in high jungle growth of the keys, where a few 

 scattered individuals and one small colony was encountered. The 

 species was very difficult to capture as the brush was too heavy to 

 use a net and the insects flew up hurriedly. Their flight was observed 

 to be usually low and for short distances. 

 Trimerotropis citrina Sc. 



Key West, Fla., July 4-5, 1912; 5 cf , 4 9 . 



This species was very scarce on bare roads and occasional on the 

 sand of the southern beach. 

 Romalea microptera (Beauv.). 



Homestead, Fla., July 10-12, 1912; 25 d, 13 9 . 



Detroit, Fla., July 12, 1912; 5 d, 5 9 . 



This series shows a considerable amount of individual variation in 

 size, the extremes measuring as follows : Length of body, cT cf 

 48.-54. mm., 9 9 60.-71.; length of pronotum, dd 13.4-18.8, 

 9 9 18.2-21.7; length of tegmen, dd 22.3-27.5, 9 9 23.8-32; 

 length of caudal femur, dd 23.7-31.; 9 9 30.7-36.5. All of the 

 specimens are of the typical phase of coloration. 



These insects were widely distributed in moderate numbers through 

 the undergrowth of the pine woods at both the above localities. 

 Leptysma marginicollis (Serv.). 



Homestead, Fla., July 10-12, 1912; 9 c^, 8 9 , 1 c^ n., 1 9 n.

 adults.
