this insect, and I think that collectors in Florida would find 

 it worth their while to keep a sharp lookout for it about the 

 dates mentioned and endeavor to secure more specimens and 

 get some further knowledge of the life history of this striking 

 and so far rare butterfly. The four recorded localities would 

 indicate that the species has a range extending over the 

 northern half of Florida and in all probability its rarity in 

 collections is due to an extremely local occurrence and ignor- 

 ance of its habits on the part of collectors. 



For easy identification, reference may be had to The But- 

 terfly Book, by Dr. Holland, page 241, plate xxix. Figs. 19 

 and 20, where the upper and under sides are figured. The 

 specimens I have seen show an orange-red dash on the costal 

 edge of the primaries below extending from the base and 

 gradually diminishing to finally disappear about opposite the 

 stigma.

Fam. REDUVIIDAE. 



In 1872 Stal on good reasons united his genera Doldina 

 and Hygromystes, but by some inadvertence called the genus 

 in this comprehension Hygromystes, although the name Dol- 

 dina is one year older.* As the genus was hitherto known 

 only from Brazil, the two species here described are of geo- 

 graphical interest. 



Doldina interjungens n. sp. 



Testaceous, rather sparingly clothed with a white pilosity which is 

 much shorter on the upper side and thicker on the apical part of the 

 prosternum and the adjacent part of the head, abdomen piceous-tes- 

 taceous with the lateral border pale testaceous. Head shorter than 

 pronotum, first antenna! joint passing apex of scutellum, second joint 

 a little shorter than head. Pronotum half as long again as the humeral 

 breadth, the posterior lobe very finely and thickly punctured, the longi- 



* For Stal's "Rio Janeiro Hemiptera I" Lethierry & Severin give the 

 wrong date, 1858. The work was published in 1860, as admitted by 

 Stal himself.
