June, 19 12.] Davis: Belocephalus from Florida. 123 



Hebard in northeastern Florida, in Georgia and in South CaroHna, 

 proves that Belocephalus males coming from that section, and con- 

 sequently to be considered as B. subapterus Scudder, are different 

 from any of the three species mentioned above. 



The three new species may be described as follows : 



Belocephalus sabalis, new species. 



Type, green male from Punta Gorda, Desoto Co., Fla., Nov., 191 1. 

 Mandibles and lower edge of front black, the upper surface of the head and 

 pronotum unicolorous, showing no stripes. Fastigium very sharp pointed, 

 slightly bent downward and tipped with black. Inferior basal tooth of 

 fastigium also tipped with black. Antennae about as long as the body and 

 unicolorous. Tegmina about two thirds as long as pronotum. Abdomen with 

 a scarcely perceptible, interrupted carina. Legs unicolorous, except the tips 

 of the spines which are black. The subgenital plate has two stout appendages 

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

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

 points. 



Length of body 41 mm. ; of fastigium beyond base of antennae 4 mm. ; of 

 pronotum 10 mm. ; of tegmina 7 mm. ; of hind femora 20 mm. 



In addition to the type, twelve green males and one brown male, 

 all from Punta Gorda, Fla., have been examined. The brown speci- 

 men differs in having a mid-dorsal stripe of a darker color. The 

 stripe commences on the fastigium, widens posteriorly and extends 

 to the base of the pronotum. 



Belocephalus hebardi, new species. 



Types, brown male and green female, Punta Gorda, Desoto Co., Fla., Xov., 

 191 1. Mandibles, lower edge of front and base of antennae 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. Fastigium 

 very sharp pointed, slightly bent downward and tipped with black. Inferior 

 basal tooth of fastigium also tipped with black. Antennae longer than the 

 body and the first few joints blotched, or nearly encircled with black, the color 

 fading out and the last joints unicolorous. Abdomen with a scarcely per- 

 ceptible, interrupted, carina. Legs with a row of about eight fuscous spots on 

 outer side of each fore femur, and the tarsi of all of the legs blotched, but 

 irregularly, with fuscous. The female has some additional spots on the middle 

 and hind femora. The subgenital plate of the male has two tapering appen- 

 dages that are about three times as long as broad. The outer extremities of 

 the plate are bent tipward and inward, and produced into points.
