Schistocerca damnifica calidior Rehn and Hebard. Southside 

 Miami, III, 6, 1915, (H.; occasional through undergrowth of 

 pine woods), 8 5,1 $. 



Eotettix signatus Scudder. South of Brickell's Hammock, Miami, 

 III, 3, 1915, (H.; edge of salt marsh), 1 very small juv. $, 



1 very small juv. 9. Homestead, III, 17 to 19, 1910, (H.; 

 edge of everglades), 3 very small juv. $. 



These tiny specimens in no way resemble the adult insect, 

 but would rather suggest the immature condition of some re- 

 markable tropical form. The generic status is, however, cer- 

 tain from specimens before us showing other immature in- 

 stars, and, as signatus is very abundant in this region and 

 situation later in the season and the only species of the genus 

 known from southern Florida, there seems little doubt of the 

 proper specific identity. 



Melanoplus puer Scudder. Miami Beach, III, 7 and 12, 1915, 

 (scarce and local in beach vegetation back of strand), 4 $, 



2 9. Southside, Miami, III, 6 and 16, 1915, (H.; widely 

 distributed and locally common in undergrowth of pine 

 woods), 14 $,8 9. Virginia Key, III, 11, 1915, (H.; in 

 beach vegetation back of strand), 1 9. Cape Florida, Key 

 Biscayne, III, 12, 1915, (H.; back of beach in low strand 

 vegetation), 1 very small juv. $. 



The specimens from Miami Beach average slightly larger 

 than those from the mainland. 



Paroxya atlantica atlantica Scudder. Southside, Miami, III, 16, 

 1915, (H.; adults occasional, young abundant in under- 

 growth of pine woods near hammock), 1 $, 1 9. South 

 of Brickell's Hammock, Miami, III, 3, 1915, (H.), 2 $, 1 9. 



Aptenopedes sphenarioides clara Rehn. 11 Miami Beach, III, 7 and 

 12, 1915, (H.; adults locally common, young in early stages 

 generally more numerous, back of beach in low strand vege- 

 tation), 16 $, 12 9, 1 juv. $, 1 juv. 9. Southside, Miami,

11 Study of other Floridian geographic races and the large series 

 of this insect in the collections before us offers convincing evidence 

 of the racial status of clara. It is our opinion that absolutely inter- 

 mediate material, proving this relationship, will be found in north 

 central Florida when that reion is investigated.
