Arpbia snlphurea Fabr. 



Specimens taken at Key West. The hind tibiae of these 

 specimens are distinctly marked on the basal as well as on the 

 apical half with a pale band, while in the north the basal half 

 is unicolorous or faintly banded. 



Arphia xanthoptera Burm. 



A few young specimens taken at Orange City Junction. 



Chortophaga viridifasciata De Geer. 



Nymphs of this species were taken at Key West and Palm 

 Beach. 



Scirtetica picta Scudd. 



Across the bay from Miami I took this species in company 

 with Psinidia fenestralis. They were taken several rods back 

 from the beach on the white hot sand. 



Psinidia fenestralis Serv. 



Taken across the bay from Miami as mentioned under the 

 previous species. 



Encoptolophus costalis Scudd. 



This species, both adults and nymphs, was taken at Key 

 West and Sanford. A specimen of this species from Texas, 

 now preserved in the National Museum, is remarkable for 

 having the hind tibiae bright red. Otherwise it is normal. 



Trimerotropis maritima Harr. 



Typical specimens of this species were taken at Palm Beach, 

 both young and adults. Its congener, T. citrina, was not 

 seen. This is the first time, so far as recorded, that this spe- 

 cies has been found so far south, the species being generally 

 there replaced by the nearly related species citrina. These 

 specimens from Palm Beach are entirely similar to ones taken 

 in Virginia and Rhode Island, showing no indications of varia- 

 tion towards citrina as mentioned recently by Morse.* 



Dictyophorus reticulatus Thunb. 



Several dozens of recently issued nymphs of this fine large 

 insect were found congregated together in the edge of a 

 swamp near Miami in early March. 



Arnilia chlorizans Walk. 

 Miami.
