At Wrightsville, Tybee Island, Sandfly and Virginia Point, this 

 species was found in salt marsh, associated with 0. pelidna at the 

 first two localities, while at Galveston and Corpus Christi it fre- 

 quented the flats and pans with Salicornia and similar vegetation.

Allied to 0. olivacea (Morse), but differing in the more robust 

 form, the never strongly elongate tegmina, the shorter pronotum, 

 the more arcuate lateral carina of the pronotum and more inflated 

 caudal femora. 



Type: 9 ; Key West, Monroe County, Florida. July 3-7, 1912.

Description of Type. — Size medium; form moderately robust, 

 subcompressed. Head with occiput and interocular region regularly 

 arcuate when seen from the side, width of the interocular space 

 hardly narrower than the greatest fastigial width; fastigium much 

 broader than long (from cephalic margin of eyes), rectangulate in 

 outline, moderately impressed in a rather narrow subarcuate area 

 but little removed from the margin (fig. 7) ; when seen from the side 

 the fastigio-facial angle is moderately rounded, lateral foveolse very 

 elongate trigonal, well impressed; facial outline regularly though 

 but moderately oblique; frontal costa narrow at juncture with 

 fastigium, regularly widening ventrad, weakly sulcate dorsad of the 

 median ocellus; eyes one and one-half times as deep as the infra- 

 ocular sulcus is long, subovoid in shape, but moderately prominent 

 when seen from the dorsum; antennae slightly depressed proximad, 

 faintly tapering distad, considerably shorter than the head and 

 pronotum together. Pronotum with the greatest width across 

 ventral portion of the lateral lobes subequal to the greatest dorsal 

 length of the disk; lateral carinae moderately converging caiidad to 

 the second transverse sulcus, thence diverging caudad, both sections 

 slightly arcuate (fig. 7) ; cephalic margin of disk subtruncate, caudal 

 margin of disk obtusely arcuate; median carina of pronotum well 

 and evenly elevated, severed by the principal transverse sulcus 

 slightly caudad of the middle. Tegmina just reaching the tips of 

 the caudal femora, apex broadly rounded, when seen from the 

 lateral aspect and in repose the costal margin and the dorsal line of 

 the tegmen subparallel except for the slight proximal lobe; ulnar area 

 completely divided in two by a longitudinal spurious vein and in
