This is the species recorded by us from Pablo Beach and Cedar 

 Keys, Florida, as vigilans. 41 It is distinctly a hygrophilous species, 

 found in both fresh and salt marsh situations, but occasionally stray- 

 ing into adjacent dune vegetation. 



Mermiria bivittata Serville. 



Billy's Island, Georgia, VII, 1912, (J. C. Bradley), 19, [A. X. S. P.]. 



In addition to this specimen, we have before us six males and two 

 females labelled, "Georgia. H. K. Morrison," from the Scudder 

 Collection and that of the United States National Museum, those 

 from the former having been correctly determined as this species by 

 Scudder. The male from Fort Barrancas, Florida, correctly recorded 

 by Morse. 42 is also before us. The single male specimen from Pablo 

 Beach, Florida, recorded by the present authors as i?itertexla, i3 belongs 

 to this species, the exact relationship of which has never been clearly 

 determined. In the near future we intend to critically study this 

 genus in its entirety. 



The present species is only known in the southeastern States, 

 i.e., east of Alabama, from the localities mentioned above and from 

 Havelock, North Carolina (Sherman and Brimley).
