August 16, were taken in pine woods. Cedar Keys is represented by a 

 single male taken August 15. 



Mermiria vigilans Scudder. 



This species is more distinctly a marsh-loving form when com- 

 pared with M. alacris, its favorite habitat being tall marsh grass in 

 extensive tracts or narrow marsh drains. At Pablo Beach this species 

 was common, particularly in a wet grassy drain along the railroad 

 embankment, a series of fourteen males and twelve females being 

 collected on August 11 and 12. At Cedar Keys, August 15, two males 

 and two females were taken in salt marsh. In the series studied four 

 females are in the green phase, while several males exhibit a similar 

 tendenc3\ 



Mermiria intertexta Scudder. 



A single male from Pablo Beach, August 13, represents this species, 

 which can be separated from vigilans by the broader, distinctly triangu- 

 lar fastigium and the narrower disk of the pronotum. 



Syrbula admirabilis (Uhler). 



This species is partial to palmetto scrub and pine woods cover, being 

 common but nowhere abundant at the localities visited. Pablo Beach 

 is represented by seven males and four females taken August 11 to 13; 

 Gainesville by three males, two females and one nymph; Cedar Keys, 

 August 15, by one male. 



All the specimens seen from Georgia and Florida are considerably 

 larger than New Jersey individuals of the same sex. 



Maoneillia obscura Scudder. 



In a restricted area in long-leaf pine woods at Gainesville, on August 

 16, this species was found in the undergrowth in moderate numbers, 

 all the specimens seen being taken. A partiality on the part of the 

 species for low oak growth was noticeable. The series in our hands 

 from this locality consists of four adult males, six females and four 

 nymphs. One of the males, two of the females and two nymphs have 

 the median pronotal bar strongly marked, while one male and two 

 females have it weaker but still quite apparent. 



Amblytropidia occidentalis (Saussure). 



Eight immature specimens from Pablo Beach, August 11-13, and 

 four from Gainesville, August 16, appear to represent this species. 

 Aside from individuals taken in dry palmetto scrub, these immature 

 specimens were from pine woods undergrowth, in situations such as are 

 favored by the adults in spring.
