number of vein liranches.^^ Supra-anal plate very similar, but 

 showing a small, short, but rather decided, median concavity on 

 the distal margin. The subgenital plate is much as found in 

 this sex of pundulata but distinctly less produced, the median 

 portion of the caudal margin being broadly rounded and the 

 plate at this point not pinched.

The specimens from Lakeland, Florida, show a slight tendency 

 toward hdea minima. It is very surprising to find a specimen 

 from Cuba which is apparently in every way typical of lutea 

 lutea. 



Coloration. — Head cinnamon, seldom varying to cinnamon buff ; 

 rarely immaculate, usually with a broad transverse band of bister 

 between the eyes and often a narrower concave band of the same 

 between the ocellar spots, rarely a third similarly narrow concave 



" But four females of lutea lutea, (two, Jacksonville and one. Lakeland, 

 Florida; one, Baiios San Vincente, Cuba), show very great wing reduction, 

 these organs being vestigial in these. 



We have scarcely any material of the species from central peninsular Morida, 

 where intergradation with the geographic race lutea minima prol)al)ly occurs, 

 and where this condition in intermediate females is probably frequently en- 

 countered.
