SUBFAMILY VII. — RHYPAROCHROMIN.-E. 417 



Royal Palm Park, Fla.. March 20 — April 4 ; six specimens 

 swept from weeds along the margins of everglades. That this 

 form is distinct from picturata is, on comparison, very evident. 

 Specimens submitted to Barber were returned marked : "What 

 Uhler identified as 0. consangidnea Dist." However, the types 

 of Distant's species from Mexico and Guatemala had the front 

 lobe of pronotum "castaneous, not black," hind one with median 

 dark stripe, sides much less constricted ; front femora with four 

 long slender spines ; beak reaching only to middle coxae and 

 were 7 mm. in length, thus differing widely from the specimens 

 in hand. Van Duzee (1917, 188) places consanguinea as a 

 synonym of picturata. 



363 (574). Ozophira CONCAVA (Distant), 1893, 394. 



Elongate, feebly narrowed in front of middle of elytra. General 

 color above fuscous-brown to blackish; collar and hind lobe of pronotum 

 brownish-yellow, the latter with three or five fuscous stripes; scutellum 

 blackish with a stripe each side and tip clay-yellow; margins of clavus 

 and corium and veins and discal spots of latter, dull yellow; membrane 

 fuscous, the veins paler; under surface fuscous, legs clay-yellow. Prono- 

 tum nearly twice as wide at base as apex, distinctly constricted in front 

 of middle; hind lobe rather finely, evenly not closely punctate; elevations 

 of front lobe and nodulose hind angles smooth; basal margin feebly con- 

 cave. Length. 6 — 7 mm. 



Arizona (U. S.N.Mus.) ; determined by Barber. Recorded 

 from Florida, without definite station, by Van Duzee (1917, 

 189) . A neotropical species described by Distant from Mexico, 

 Guatemala and Panama. 



364 (573). Ozophora burmeisteri (Guerin), 1857, 397. 



Closely allied to picturata. Head, pronotum, disk of scutellum. dark 

 bar across corium and under surface dark opaque fuscous, thinly clothed 

 with fine gray inclined hairs ; several small oblong spots on hind lobe of 

 pronotum, smooth stripe each side of scutellum, a small spot at each inner 

 apical angle and a large subquadrate one behind dark bar of corium. 

 pale yellow; color otherwise as in picturata, the antenna? and legs some- 

 what paler. Pronotum slightly shorter and a little wider than in pic- 

 turata, the transverse constriction less defined; hind lobe more sparsely 

 and irregularly punctate. Length. 6 — 6.5 mm. 



Everglade, Chokoloskee, R. P. Park and Lake Wales, Fla.. 

 March 11 — April 14. Taken at the first two stations by beat- 

 ing the foliage of the mangrove, RhicopJiora mangle L., along the 

 edges of submaritime hammocks ; at the others by sifting vege- 

 table debris in moist places. Recorded also from St. Augus- 

 tine, Fla. A neotropical species described from Cuba and known
