2. Ischnodemus rufipes, Van Duzee. 

 Bulletin Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences, IX, p. 167, 1909. 

 So far as I know this species has been taken only in Florida. 



3. Ischnodemus prcecultus, Distant ? 

 Biologia Centrali Americana, Heteroptera, I, p. 196, 1882. 



Last year I received from the late Prof. F. H. Snow two examples 

 of a slender species which agree reasonably well with Distant's short 

 description. These are both brachypterous, and proportionately more 

 slender than is indicated in his figure, and the rostrum is shorter 

 than described by him, scarcely attaining the anterior coxse; the vertex 

 also is black and pubescent and the size is larger. If not identical, 

 these forms are so close I do not care to describe the present 

 specimens as a distinct species without more material. They were 

 taken by Prof. Snow in the Santa Rita Mts., Arizona, at an altitude 

 of 8,000 feet. 



4. Ischnodemus lobatus, Van Duzee. 



Bulletin Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences, IX, p. 169, 1909. 



This is another Florida species which I have not seen from else- 

 where. It may be distinguished from the preceding by the longer 

 rostrum and from badius by its black colour and the concolorous orifices. 



5. Ischnodemus Slossoni, Van Duzee. 

 Entomological News, XX, p. 233, 1909. 



Most nearly related to falicus, but with more slender antennse, 

 the base of which are rufo-testaceous, and the rostrum is longer. The 

 types were taken by Mrs. Slosson at Jacksonville, Florida, and I 

 captured one example at Raleigh, N. C. 



6. Ischnodemus conicus, Van Duzee. 

 Entomological News, XX, p. 234, 1909. 



This is a large species allied to Sallei. Sign. It was taken at Gal- 

 veston, Texas, by the late Prof. Snow. 



7. Ischnodemus badius, Van Duzee. 



Bulletin Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences, IX, p. 168, 1909. 



Of this rather large castaneous species I took numbers on the shore 

 grass along Tampa Bay at St. Petersburg, Florida. I do not know of its 

 having been taken elsewhere, but it is not unlikely that it will be found at 

 other places along the Gulf Coast.
