SUBFAMILY III. — DUFOURIELLIN^E. 643 



Elytra similarly punctate, each puncture bearing a very fine appressed 

 yellowish hair, costal margin of corium ciliate with very short hairs; 

 membrane surpassing abdomen by nearly one-half its length. Other

Miami, R. P. Park, Cabe Sable, Caxambus, Ft. Myers, La 

 Belle, Moore Haven and Dunedin, Fla., Nov. 23 — April 23. A 

 West Indian species, recorded by Barber from Lakeland and 

 Marco, Fla., and by Van Duzee from South Carolina and Texas. 

 Specimens were compared by China with those in the British 

 Museum identified by Champion, and differed only in the small- 

 er size and rather shorter head. Reuter gave the length as 

 1.8 — 2 mm. It is one of the most common Anthocorids in 

 southern Florida, occurring in winter in bunches of dead vines, 

 beneath bark of dead limbs, and in bunches of dead leaves of 

 cabbage palmetto, especially in or about wet hammocks; in 

 spring on vegetation in low moist ground. 



620 (868). Cardiastethus pergandii Reuter, 1884, 141.

 fine pale pubescence; apical third of scutellum, clavus, apical half of 

 corium and inner half of cuneus, fuscous to piceous; membrane pale 

 fuscous, its margin toward apex subhyaline; beak, except basal joint, 

 and legs pale straw-yellow. Head slightly wider than long, eyes large, 

 coarsely granulate. Pronotum more than twice as wide at base as long, 

 sides visibly curved, apex as wide as median length, disk behind calli 

 strongly transversely impressed, finely transversely strigose. Length, 

 1.8 mm.

 from there. 



IV. Poronotus Reuter, 1871, 561. 



The single known member of this genus is closely related to 

 Cardiasthctus, differing by the characters given in generic key 

 and by having the front lobe of pronotum shorter with a dis-
