frequently exhibits and which we have never seen in elegans, are to be 

 given due consideration. 



At Pablo Beach this species was abundant in a variety of localities, 

 in dry palmetto scrub and undergrowth in pine woods, in rank grass 

 growing in a wet drain along a railroad embankment and in open 

 marshy spots. Twenty-four males, eleven females and two nymphs 

 were taken at this locality, August 11 to 13. In pine woods at San 

 Pablo two females were taken on August 13, and in a similar situation 

 and at a wooded sink-hole two males and one female were taken 

 August 16 and 17 at Gainesville. Cedar Keys is represented by twenty- 

 one males, five females and two nymphs taken, August 15, in salt marsh 

 and in palmetto scrub in open pine woods. Here the species was more 

 abundant in salt marsh. 



CEDIPODIX.E. 

 Arphia xanthoptera (Burmeister). 



A single female of this species from San Pablo, August 13, is in the 

 collection. It was taken in pine woods undergrowth. 



Arphia granulata Saussure. 



Five males, three females and one nymph of this species were taken 

 at Pablo Beach, August 11, 12 and 13, all captured in open palmetto 

 scrub except one from grass. 



There is a perceptible amount of variation in the arcuation of the 

 crest of the pronotum, the majority having it distinctly but slightly 

 arcuate, while the coloration of the caudal tibiae is also variable, a pale 

 disto-median annulus being present more or less distinctly in the 

 majority of the specimens. With two exceptions the specimens have 

 blackish brown predominating, the others being dull brownish. 

 Euooptolophus costalis (Scudder). 



This species enjoys a much wider distribution in the southeastern 

 States than has usually been supposed to be the case. The present 

 collection contains representatives from Jacksonville (one female, 

 August 11, on city lot), Pablo Beach (three males, four females, 

 August 11 and 12, palmetto scrub, grass and strand), Gainesville 

 (one male, August 17, palmetto scrub) and Cedar Keys (one male, 

 August 15). 



In coloration a great amount of variation is present, the shades of 

 brown ranging to seal brown, while the ochres are equally variable. 

 One female from San Pablo has the whole head and pronotum, the bet- 

 ter part of the caudal femora and patches on the distal portion of the 

 tegmina green, while the Jacksonville individual has some green
