One female from Florida, undated and without specific locality, is 

 before me. It may be described as follows : Color green with head, 

 thorax, legs and part of the elytra more or less yellowish brown, the 

 disk of the pronotum, next the rounded subpersistent lateral carinae, 

 reddish : when living the insect is probably for the most part green, 

 at least the elytra. Pronotum straight above, roughened, the disk twice 

 as long as the anterior width, crossed at the anterior third by an incon- 

 spicuous straight sulcus and just behind the middle with a posteriorly 

 bowed sulcus, a little more distinct than the anterior one (Fig. 5). 

 Elytra equally rounded before and behind, the tip broadly rounded, 

 the whole two and one half times as long as broad, the veins of the 

 anterior field weak ; legs moderately stout. 



Posterior femora armed below on the outer carinae with seven or 

 eight spines, and the middle ones anteriorly with five spines ; an- 

 terior femora armed below on the inner side only with five spines. All 

 the tibiae armed below with a number of spines on both margins, the 

 posterior and intermediate ones also armed above for nearly the entire 

 length, the posterior ones on both margins and the intermediate ones 

 only on the inner ; anterior tibiae unarmed above. Supraanal plate 

 thin and flat, more than twice as long as the middle width and apically 

 somewhat narrowly rounded. Cerci cylindrical, curving gently in- 

 wards and upwards, not quite extending to the tip of the supraanal 

 plate and apically tapering and briefly forked, forming two pointed 

 apical teeth ; ovipositor of the general form found in Cyrtophyllus but 

 curving somewhat more abruptly upwards, apically serrate below, the 

 serrations very fine. 



Length, pronotum, 7.25 ; anterior femora, 13; hind femora, 25 ; 

 elytra, 34; ovipositor, 17; width, pronotum, 6; at the anterior mar- 

 gin, 3.25; elytra, 13.5; ovipositor, 3.25 mm. 



This species is said by Mr. Beutenmueller to live in the tops of 

 live-oak. He says the note of the male is a continuous " Kerr-kerr- 

 kerr-kerr " with about one second interval of rest. It is not rare on 

 the subtropical strip of land dividing the mainland of eastern Florida 

 from the Ocean. It is not at all allied to the Cyrtophyllus crepitans 

 Redt., of the West Indies. 



Mr. Rehn has taken a number of this species at Pablo Beach, Fla.
