Mr. Charles E. Sleight of Ramsey. X. J., the companion on my 

 journey. 



Belocephalus micanopy, new species. 



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



Sept. 19 and Oct., 1913. Mandibles, lower edge of front and base of antenna- 



beneath, black. The upper surface of the head and pronotum with a faint 



line on either side of a yellowish color, which is bordered interiorly with 



blackish. These stripes extend from the fastigium backward to the base of 



the thorax in the male and on to the abdomen in the female. They are more 



parallel in the female than in the male. The area included between the stripes 



is darker in the female than the general body color, thus forming a brown 



dorsal stripe edged with blackish and straw color. Fastigium short, blunt 



pointed and tipped with black. Inferior basal tooth of fastigium also tipped 



with black. Antenna longer than the body in the male, not quite as long in 



the female, with the first joints in both sexes annulated with black, the color 



fading out toward the tip. Abdomen with a scarcely perceptible, interrupted 



carina. The femora and tibia of all of the legs blotched with brown at the 



knees, and the tips of the spines are black. The supra-anal plate of the male 



with the V-shaped notch not broadly open and its inner sides rounded. The 



subgenital plate of the male has two tapering appendages (styles) that are 



about three times as long as broad. The outer extremities of the plate are 



bent upward and inward and produced into points.

In addition to the types, tlircc hrown males have heen examined, 

 all from Big Pine Key. The female type and two of the males were 

 collected in October, 1913, and sent to me by the family of Mr. Win 

 H. Sands; the remaining two males were collected on Sept. 19. 191 3. 

 They were found among the leaves of the silver-palm, Coccothrinax 

 argcntca Lodd, which is not uncommon on Big Pine Key. The song 

 of this species is slow and readily distinguishable from that of Belo- 

 cephalus slcighti. The male type is slightly larger than some of the 

 other males of the series. 



Si.x species of Belocephalus arc now known from Florida and 

 there are probably several others to be discovered. The insects 

 cannot flv and are not active walkers, so they do not get about imioli.
