These specimens were taken in hot weather only and were attracted 

 to the arc Hghts. (M. H.) 



Anisolabis annulipes (H. Lucas). 



Specimens of this species taken at Thomasville, December 24, 1902 

 (under pine bark), August 20, September 9, December 9, 1903 (in 

 house), and March 23, 1904, are the first individuals recorded from the 

 United States. In one individual (December 9) the maculations on 

 the limbs are rather weak. 



The few specimens of this species taken were all met with accident- 

 ally. It appeared to be at all times very scarce. (M. H.) 

 Spongophora brunneipennis (Serville). 



A number of specimens (ten) of this species were taken at Thomas- 

 ville under magnoHa bark, December 10, 11 and 13, 1903. They are 

 equally divided between the sexes and are constant in size and colora- 

 tion. An unmature specimen was also taken under pine bark in Leon 

 county, Florida, on April 7, 1903. 



All the specimens of this species were taken from under the bark of a 

 dead magnolia tree. They were found in colonies of three or four 

 huddled closely together, and upon the bark which concealed them 

 being pried off they made vigorous attempts to escape. The speci- 

 mens of this species taken, with hardly an exception, were under 

 bark five or more feet from the ground, where the decayed wood was 

 dry and pithy and not as far gone as that at the foot of the tree.

Labia minor (Linnaeus). 



A specimen of this species from Thomasville, but without further 

 data, was examined. 



Labia guttata Scudder. 



Three female specimens of this species have been examined from 

 Thomasville, one taken January 1, 1903, another January 24, 1903, 

 and the other in Georgia pine woods on March 1, 1904. 



A scarce species in this locality, taken from under the bark of dead 

 pine logs. In 1904 but one colony, consisting of four or five specimens, 

 was discovered, although during the year many logs were thoroughly 

 examined. (M. H.) 



Labia burgessii Scudder. 



This species is quite common at Thomasville under the bark of dead 

 trees. A series of over a hundred and fifty specimens, representing 

 the adult condition of both sexes and immature forms, has been exam- 

 ined. This series plainly demonstrates that there is considerable
