'• drift" brought from the coast of Florida by the ocean currents. Of the 

 thirty or more species now known from these islands, six are widely dis- 

 tributed forms common to Europe and America. These six are : Nezara 

 viridula, Linn.; Corizus hyaliftus, Fabr.; Reduviolus capsiformis, Germ.; 

 Civiex lectularius, Linn.; Lygus apicalis, var. prasinus, Reut.; Lygus 

 pratensis, Linn.; and Trigouotylus ruficornis, Fall. Five others, Mormidea 

 lugens, Fabr.; Jassus olitorius, Say ; Ormenis pruinosa, Say ; Libumia 

 oruafa, Stal, and Agallia sanguinolenta, Pro v., have an extended range 

 on the mainland of North America, where they occur as far north as 

 Canada. Eight species : Nezara viridula, Linn.; Corizus hyalinus, 

 Fabr.; Pamera bilobata, Say ; Reduviolus capsiformis, Germ.; Lygus 

 apicalis, var. prasinus, Reut.; Lygus olivaceus, Reut.; Libumia 

 albolineosa, Fowl., and At/iysauus exitiosus, Uhler, are known to me to 

 inhabit the West India Islands. Cicada Bermudiana, Verrill, if it prove 

 to be a valid species, is the only precinctive form known from these 

 islands. The following are the species taken by Mr. Palmer : 



Nezara sp- Two nymphs. These are quite distinct from any 

 nymphs of either viridula or marginata which I have seen, but they may 

 represent some stage of one of those species. They most closely resemble 

 the adults of Nezara bipunctata, Stal, from Brazil, but it seems unlikely 

 that they could be of that species. 



Corizus (Liorhyssus) hyalinus, Fabr. Two dark-coloured 

 examples. 



Pamera bilobata, Say. Three specimens. 



Reduviolus capsiformis, Germ. Two examples. 



Lygus pratensis, Linn. Common. 



Lygus apicalis, var. prasinus, Rent. Four examples. Dr. 

 Reuter reports the variety inops, Horvarth described from Spain to be 

 identical with this American form. 



Lygus olivaceus, Reuter. This was described by Dr. Reuter from 

 material taken by me in Jamaica, and I have lately taken it in southern 

 Florida. 



LygUS Sp. A strongly-marked species doubtfully identical with a 

 species taken in Florida. 



Amphiscepa pumila, Van D. Mr. Palmer reports this as very 

 abundant on a low bush with thick succulent leaves, probably the "yellow 

 daisy bush," Borrichia arborescens. I took it on what was probably the 

 same plant in Florida, in which State the type specimens were taken by 

 Mrs. Slosson.
