specimen resting rigid in some concealed position during the 

 day, with cephalic limbs and antennae directed straight forward 

 and median and caudal limbs straight backward, but at 

 night moving actively about and extremely alert and rapid in 

 its movements. 



We have before us two large immature females of this spe- 

 cies taken by E. A. Schwarz at Cocoanut Grove, Florida, in 

 May, 1887, and two adult brown females taken by the same 

 collector during that year in Dade County. The female of 

 this species closely resembles the male in all features common 

 to both sexes, the ovipositor is decidedly shorter than in B. 

 tubapterus and is weakly upcurved. The measurements of 

 these specimens are : length of body 34.2 and 39.5, of vertex 

 from tooth to tip 3.1 and 3.3, of pronotum 9. and 9.9, of expos- 

 ed portion oi tegmen 1.8 and 2.2, of caudal femur and 21.8, 

 of ovipositor 15.2 and 16.2, width of tegmen 2.3 and 2.6 mm. 



Orchelimum concinnum Scudder. South of Brickell's Hammock, 

 Miami, III, 3, 1915, (H.; very few juv. in salt marsh), 1 very 

 small juv. $ . 



The very small immature examples seen were probably 

 the very first of this species to appear. In July, the marshes 

 of this region swarm with the young of this species. 



. Conocephalus gracillimus (Morse). Southside, Miami, III, 6 and 

 16, 1915, (H.; locally not scarce in heavier patches of low 

 undergrowth and grasses in the pine woods), 9 5,1 9,2 juv. $. 



Of the above series the adult female alone has the face, 

 lower portions of the lateral lobes of the pronotum, pleura, 

 ventral portion of abdomen, basal half of ovipositor and the 

 tibiae brilliant green (Scheele's green), the other specimens 

 have these portions isabella color varying to yellowish olive. 



Odontoxiphidium apterum Morse. Miami Beach, III, 12, 1915, 

 (H.; one specimen in beach vegetation back of strand), 1 

 very small juv. Southside, Miami, III, 6, 1915, (H.; beaten 

 from undergrowth of pine woods), 1 very small juv. 



Atlanticus glaber Rehn and Hebard. Southside, Miami, (H.; rare 

 but widely distributed through undergrowth of pine woods), 

 III, 6, 1915, 4 juv. $ , III, 10, 1915, 1 5 , 3 juv. $ . 

 These immature individuals were kept alive and all but one 



successfully reached maturity, the dates being April 12, 13,
