Ormond, Sanford and Lake Okeechobee, Fla., Jan. 6 — April 4. 

 Beaten from shrubs along the banks of streams or marshes. 

 Barber lists it from Lakeland, Archer and Ft. Myers, Fla., and 

 it probably occurs in small numbers throughout the eastern 

 and southern portions of that State. Recorded also from 

 Brownsville, Tex. The types of Dallas were from Colombia. 

 South America, and Mexico. 



III. Oplomus Spinola, 1840, 355. 



Medium sized, convex, oval species, differing from Perilhis, as 

 characterized below, only in having the scutellum slightly but 

 evidently widened behind the middle and the spine of second 

 ventral projected forward to the middle coxae. 



Fifteen species are listed by Stal from Mexico and South 

 America, one of which is recorded by Van Duzee (1917, 72) 

 from Florida.
