Sept., I9I4-] Davis: Orthoptera from Florida. 199 



trifle uncertain, but from locality and association wtih the males they 

 are probably sitbaptcnis. 



Belocephalus sabalis Davis. 



Miami, Sept. 22. 2 green males ; Sept. 24, i green male : Sept. 25, 4 

 green males and i brown male; Cocoanut Grove, Sept. 14. i green 

 male. 



These specimens from the east coast of Florida agree with those 

 collected at Punta Gorda, the type locality, in November, 191 1. The 

 longitudinal lines on the head and thorax usual in Belocephalus are 

 present in this species, but fade away after death. 



Belocephalus sleighti, new species. 



Types, green male and brown female. Big Pine Key, Monroe Co., Fla., 

 Sept. 19, 20, 1913. Mandibles black, the upper surface of the head and pro- 

 notum in the green male with a faint line on either side of a yellowish color ; 

 these lines are pronounced in the brown female and bordered interiorly with 

 blackish. Fastigium sharp pointed, not as long as in sabalis, slightly bent 

 downward and tipped with black. Inferior basal tooth of fastigium in female 

 also tipped with black. The antennae are unicolorous, a little longer than the 

 body in the male and somewhat shorter in the female. Tegmina about two 

 thirds as long as the pronotum. Abdomen with a scarcely perceptible carina. 

 Legs unicolorous, except the tips of the spines which are black. The supra- 

 anal plate of the male with the inner sides of the V-shaped notch rounded 

 and the notch itself not nearly so broadly open as in sabalis. The subgenital 

 plate of the male is notched and has two stout appendages (styles) with 

 rounded extremities. They are about twice as long as broad. The outer ex- 

 tremities of the plate are not bent upward and inward and produced into 

 points. '

In addition to the types twelve green and two brown males, one 

 green female and two nymphs have been examined from Big Pine 

 Key, all collected on Sept. 19 and 20, 1913. They were captured at 

 night on the scrub palmettos and various low bushes, and their song 

 was much like that of Belocephalus sabalis as described in this 

 Journal, Vol. XX, p. 122, June, 1912. This insect is named after
