ent and he agreed that my identification was correct. A sHght doubt 

 still remained in my mind as to the correctness of the locality given 

 for this specimen. The species being described and known only from 

 Georgia, it seemed strange that this should be the only specimen to 

 turn up in a place so thoroughly collected as the Fort Lee district, 

 but my doubt was instantly removed when I found in Mr. William T. 

 Davis's collection a female taken by him on Staten Island, N. Y., on 

 September 26. These establish records for both New Jersey and New 

 York, and there is no reason to doubt its occurrence in all the states 

 intervening between these points and the type locality. Its occurrence 

 south and southwest of Georgia is shown by specimens taken in Flor- 

 ida, Tennessee and Texas. A female in the United States National 

 Museum was kindly sent to me for study by Mr. Edmund Gibson. 

 This specimen came from Victoria, Texas, in September. It was 

 labeled Drcrcidacephala angulifera? Walker (identified by Ball). 

 The fact that Dr. Ball put an interrogation mark after the determina:- 

 tion shows that he recognized it as not being typical. The general 

 color pattern and the vermiculate markings of anterior pronotum at 

 once establish the difference. In Mr. William T. Davis's collection I 

 further found two females and one male (all from Fort Myers, 

 Florida, in April, 1912) ; these were taken at light. It is interesting, 

 in this connection, that Mr. Dwight M. De Long records (Tennessee 

 State Board of Entomology Bulletin No. 17) the capture of three 

 females of this species in a trap light at Clarksville, Tennessee, July 

 14. Thus six of the specimens recorded have been taken at light; I 

 do not know the conditions under which the others were GC)lIected. 

 In the course of this study four females and one male have been ex- 

 amined. The accompanying figures were prepared to simplify the 

 determination; Figs, i, 2 and 3 are of a female and were drawn from 

 the Texas specimen (U. S. National Museum collection), while 4 

 and 5 show a male from Florida (Wm. T. Davis's Coll.). As the 

 specimens differ somewhat from the description of type it may be 

 well to give further details concerning them. Quotations from the 

 original descriptions are put in parentheses. 



Female from Victoria, Texas: length 8 mm. ("7 mm."); vertex 

 a trifle longer than one half its width across the eyes ("nearly as 

 long"); color rather bright green ("dark dull green"); vertex, an- 

 terior margin of pronotum and scutellum, bright yellow ("dull yel-
