of the tegminal stridulating apparatus in the male sex. The general 

 coloration is immaculate pale yellowish brown, with no trace of 

 cephalic markings. The species does not appear ever to develop 

 wings and the tegmina have a more regularly convex contour than 

 in the species of the allied genera. 



The species is usually found in greatest numbers in the dry wire- 

 grass and dead needles of the pine woods. It has twice been found 

 in considerable numbers in such situations (Thomasville, Georgia; 

 Dickinson, Texas). The above series was found very rare in heavy 

 grasses of pine forest, Pinus rigida (Reega), occasional in grasses in 

 boggy opening in woods (Petersburg), few in number in dry grasses 

 under short-leaf pines, Pinus echinata (Goldsboro), in short grass on 

 edge of forest (Greensboro), undergrowth of pine woods (Yemassee), 

 undergrowth of gray-bark pine forest, Pinus sp. (Isle of Hope), in dry 

 wire -grass and dead pine needles of long-leaf pine woods, Pinus 

 palustris (Cumberland Island) and in heavy undergrowth of same 

 (Hebardville, Suwannee Creek). 



The present species has been previously correctly recorded only 

 from the type locality, Thomasville, Georgia, and from Gainesville, 

 Florida. 178

This species is only known in the United States from peninsular 

 Florida and has not been previously correctly recorded north of 

 Punta Gorda; 179 it is widely distributed in the West Indies and is 

 known from Central and northern South America. 



The present specimen is no larger than the average individuals 

 from Key West, Florida.

178 As the distribution of the species has been found to be so much more exten- 

 sive than was previously known, we have here recorded all of the material before 

 us in order to define as fully as possible its range. The records of this species 

 ( 9 ), and Anaxipha exigua (cf), from Cabanas, Cuba, are incorrect, the material 

 being properly referable to Anaxipha vittata. Rehn, 2d Rept. Cent. Exp. Sta.
