species. Miami individuals were taken in February, July and August; 

 Cape Florida specimens (two) on February 8, 1904; Tampa individuals 

 (two) on January 17, 1904, and the Key West series on January 19, 

 1904. Chokoloskco is represented by a number of specimens without 

 data. Many of the males are extremely small, and the Key West 

 series (twenty-six in number) is remarkable on account of the distinct 

 bars on the posterior femora, a feature not very marked on specimens 

 from other localities. The same series appears somewhat smaller than 

 the mainland representatives, especially the females, and possibly 

 may be an insular race worthy of separation. 



Those taken in Tampa and Miami were found in marshy spots, 

 while those from Cape Florida and Key West were found on dry ground 

 among weeds. (H.) 



Aptenopedes olara Rehn. 



This beautiful species is represented by a series of forty-one speci- 

 mens exhibiting a great amount of variation in size, and considerable 

 in color. A topotypic series from Miami were taken on February 6 and 

 7, 1904, and in July, 1903, while Key West is represented by twelve 

 specimens indistinguishable from the types, and taken on January 19 

 and 20, 1904. Several individuals from Cape Florida, Key Biscayne, 

 taken February S, 1904, are of enormous size, but cannot be separated 

 otherwise from the types. Eight specimens from Tampa, taken Janu- 

 ary 16 and 17, 1904, have the cerci slightly shorter and less falcate 

 than in Miami specimens, but the fiu-cula are as in true clara, and the 

 tendency toward sphenarioides is extremely slight. The range in total 

 length of adult males is from 19 millimeters in Miami specimens to 

 26.5 in the Cape Florida type, in adult females from 24 in small Miami 

 specimens to 34 in the largest Cape Florida representatives. 



The brown phase of coloration has been noticed in the female only, 

 the male presenting little else than variation in the intensity of the 

 green phase of coloration. 



The specimens from Tampa were taken in marshy spots along the 

 bay. In Key West I found the species among the low, dry herbage 

 near the city, and on Cape Florida in a dense tangle of vines and grasses. 

 Those from Miami were captured in the vmdergrowth of the pine 

 woods. (H.) 



Aptenopedes aptera Scudder. 



Folu- males of this species taken at Miami, February 7, 1904, have 

 b®en examined. The caudal femora of this species appear heavier 

 than in any of the other species of the genus.
