At Detroit th(> species was not scarce in saw grass growing in the 

 knee-high water of the everglades. 



Orchelimum militare R. and H. 



Detroit, Fla., July 12, 1912; 1 cT, 1 9 . 



These specimens are inseparable from typical material of the 

 species, the range of which is here extended to the southward of its 

 former southern limit, Gainesville, Alachua County, Fla. 



This pair was taken in the same situation as the series of 0. pul- 

 cheUum. 



Orchelimum concinnum Scudder. 



Homestead, Fla., July 10-12, 1912; 5 cf , 9 9 • 



The present record slightly extends the range of this species to the 

 southward, the most southern previous record being from Chokolos- 

 kee, Fla. Three males have the facial maculation indistinct, this 

 certainly being due to desiccation in one specimen, but in the remain- 

 ing eleven it is decided and moderately variable in width. 



Individuals of this species were not uncommon in the prairie-like 

 everglades. 



Conocephalus fasciatus (DeCJeer). 



Miami, Fla., July 17-20, September 12, 1904 (Hebard); 2 cf , 2 9 . 



Detroit, Fla., July 12, 1912; 2 9 . 



The range of the species is extended to the end of the Florida penin- 

 sula by the present records. 



Conocephalus gracillimus (Morse). 



Homestead, Fla., July 10-12, 1912; 10 d', 7 9 . 



Detroit, Fla., July 12, 1912; 1 cf. 



Jewfish, Fla., July 11, 1912; 12 d^, 6 9 . 



Big Pine Key, Fla., July 6, 1912; 5 d" , 1 9 . 



Key West, Fla., July 3-7, 1912; 2 cf , 5 9 , 1 9 n. 



Loggerhead Key, Dry Tortugas, Fla., July 8, 1912; 2 d', 3 9, 

 1 d" n., 1 9 n. 



These specimens show that considerable color variation is present- 

 in the species, and while in a certain measure geographic, it is chiefly 

 individual. The Homestead series is in general uniformly quite 

 dark, two males, however, being rather pale. The single Detroit 

 individual is pale, as are most of the Jewfish specimens, none of which 

 are as dark as the average Homestead representative. Big Pine 

 Key specimens vary greatly, several having an average degree of 

 marking, while three have the general color pale yellowish. Key 

 West representatives are of the usual pattern in the female sex, but
