the males are much paler with a weak pattern. The Loggerhead 

 Key series varies greatly in color, three adults and both of the nymphs 

 having the pattern more or less distinctly indicated on a pale base 

 color, while the other two adults are uniformly ochraceous without 

 markings. 



The specimens from the keys average slightly larger than the 

 individuals from the mainland, the Key West females having this 

 most apparent. 



At Homestead the species occurred in potholes and in the prairie- 

 like everglades, at Jewfish it was common in grasses on the edge of 

 the everglades, on Key West it was not scarce in grassy tangles 

 scattered through the jungle scrub, while on Loggerhead Key it 

 frequented grasses growing on open areas among the bay-cedar 

 thickets. 



Ceuthophilus peninsularis n.'sp. 



Apparently nearest to C. spinosus Brunner from Georgia, but 

 differing in the absence of pronounced spines on the external margin

of the caudal femora, in the non-arcuate caudal tibiae, in the smaller 

 size, and in the rather different coloration. It also shows some 

 relationship to C nigricans Scudder in the longer caudal femora and 

 tibiae, in the long distal spine on the ventro-cephalic margin of the 

 cephalic femora, in the same margin of the median femora having 

 four spines, in the caudal femora being longer instead of shorter than 

 the body, slenderer and three times as long as broad, in the ventro- 

 internal margin of the caudal femora being more strongly serrato- 

 dentate than the external, inner middle spur of the caudal tibiae 

 not markedly longer than the external middle one and l)ut little 

 shorter than the metatarsus.
