 8, k)\ malar space one-fourth height of compound eye; combined 

 widths of compound eyes one-fifth greater than interocular space at 

 level of antennal bases; metaf emur without an inner tooth; petiole 

 three times as long as wide. 



Type locality. — Florida. 



Types— TLoloty^Q, female, British Museum. The male was de- 

 scribed as Srmcra pulchra Cresson, from Cuba ; types, 1815.1-1815.4,

Kirby " synonymized Smicra pulchra (Cresson) with S. transiti/va
