Coloration. Ochraceous buff to apricot buff in general coloration. 

 The anal fields of the tegmina are usually immaculate, occasionally 

 weakly washed with white, rarely weakly speckled with darker buff 

 in specimens of darkest coloration. The discoidal and marginal fields 

 of the tegmina are of the general coloration, usually much suffused 

 with a speckling of darker buff, these markings concentrating to form 

 two weakly defined darker bands. The pronotum is normally greatly 

 suffused with white except along the lateral borders of the dorsum 

 and on the dorso-caudal portions of the lateral lobes with the char- 

 acteristic small median depression very dark. The head is heavily 

 suffused with white except for two narrow post-ocular bands. An- 

 tennae and limbs suffused with white, with two conspicuous dark 

 bands on the caudal femora and the genicular areas of the same dark 

 buffy. Inner faces of caudal femora yellowish, heavily twice banded 

 with black but with genicular areas not at all or but little darkened. 

 Caudal tibiae scarlet, this color fading to white near the proximal 

 extremity. Wings with proximal portion marguerite yellow individual- 

 ly varying to reed yellow, margined distad with a broad continuous 

 black band, this not interrupted normally except very briefly before 

 the elongate spur. Remaining distal portion of wings hyaline with tip 

 often weakly suffused with black. Immature individuals are even 

 more heavily suffused with white but with color pattern (darker nar- 

 row post-ocular bars, margining of disk of pronotum and bands of 

 caudal femora) strongly denned. 



The species was found widely distributed but few in num- 

 bers everywhere along the middle and upper ocean beaches at 

 Miami Beach. Individuals were encountered without excep- 

 tion on loose sand either along the landward border of the 

 middle beach or less often immediately back of this in areas 



9 Of this series the two largest specimens were taken in September.
