42 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [Jan., 



These specimens were taken in the wire-grass of the pine woods to 

 the north of Miami. Specimens were very hard to find here, and none 

 were taken to the west of the town where, otherwise, the best collect- 

 ing was secured. (H.) 



Family TETTIGONID^. 

 Stilpnoohlora marginella (Serville). 



A single female specimen of this neotropical species from Chokoloskee 

 has been examined. It is slightly smaller than a Nicaraguan female 

 in the Academy collection, but can without hesitancy be referred to 

 this species. Scudder has recorded it from the Florida Keys. 



Soudderia curvioauda (DeGeer). 



A single female of this species was taken at Miami on July 20, 1903. 



Soudderia ouneata Morse. 



A pair of this southern species was taken at Miami on August 21 (c?) 

 and 23 ( ? ), 1903. 

 Amblyoorypha floridana n sp. (PI. I, fig. 5). 



Types: d^, Chokoloskee, Monroe county, Florida [A. N. S. Phila.]; 

 9 , Miami, Dade county, Florida, July 20, 1903 [Hebard collection]. 



Allied to A. ohlongifolia, but differing in the straighter ovipositor 

 and less angulatc lateral angles of the disk of the pronotum. From 

 A. huasteca, which it resembles in the latter respect, it can be separated 

 by the very much shorter ovipositor. 



Size medium; form slender, elongate. Head short, rather broad; 

 vertex very strongly declivent; fastigium of the vertex very broad, 

 about equal to the length of one of the eyes, truncate, broadly touching 

 the frontal fastigium; eyes elliptical; antennae reaching to the tips of 

 the wings. Pronotum depressed above, distinctly expanding poste- 

 riorly; lateral margins of the disk rounded rectangulate, ratner obso- 

 lete cephalad; cephalic margin with a broad slight median emargina- 

 tion, caudal margin broadly rotundate; lateral lobes slightly deeper 

 than long. Tegmina not quite four times as long as broad, costal 

 margin evenly arcuate, apex rounded; radial rami bifurcate, the 

 branches reaching the anal margin cephalad of the apex; costal region 

 irregularly reticulate. Wings extending beyond the tegmina a distance 

 slightly less than the length of the pronotum. jVIesosternal lobes 

 somewhat produced, rounded mesad, an angle developed latcro-caudad ; 

 metasternal lobes each subcircular. Subgenital plate of the male 

 carinatc mesad, distad with a narrow V-shaped median emargination ; 

 styles very short, tapering. Ovipositor considerably longer than the
