Gryllodes sigillatus (Walker). The characteristic, very rapid, 

 stridulation of this species was heard in buildings both at 

 Miami Beach and Miami, but no efforts were made to cap- 

 ture specimens. 



Anaxipha scia 18 new species (PI. XX, figs. 3A-3D). 



Closely related to A. vittata differing in the uniform dark 

 coloration, proportionately longer and more attenuate limbs 

 and spines of the caudal femora. The tegminal cross-veinlets 

 of the female are also more distinct than in that species or 

 in the closely related A. pulicaria. 



TYPE: 9 ; red mangrove swamp on edge of Brickell's Ham- 

 mock, Miami, Florida, March 16, 1915. (Hebard; among 

 roots above black muck, sodden leaves and tidal litter.) 

 [Hebard Collection, Type No. 404.] 



Description of Type. Size small, form rather slender for the genus 

 (similar to that of vittata but with limbs proportionately longer). 

 Head, pronotum and ovipositor as in vittata. Limbs more elongate 

 and proportionately more slender than in that species. Caudal tibiae 

 with dorsal margins supplied with three pairs of long alternating 

 spines which are all distinctly longer than the spaces intervening be- 

 tween their bases. Distal extremity of caudal femora supplied with 

 three small external and two decidedly larger internal spurs ; of the 

 external three the dorsal is so small that it can scarcely be detected 

 with a hand lens, while the median is the longest and about half as 

 long as the ventro-internal, which is about three-fifths as long as the 

 dorso-internal spur (in these characters agreeing with vittatus but 

 with tarsi longer). Caudal metatarsus elongate, one and one-quarter 

 times as long as the longest tibial spur and equalling in length the 

 longest tibial spine. Tegmina much as in vittata but with cross-vein- 

 lets few but distinct; wings not apparent. Coloration distinctive. 



Allotype: $ ; same data as type excepting date, March 15, 



Description of Allotype. Agrees with type in all characters com- 

 mon to both sexes. Tegmina similar to those of rittata and pnlicaria.
