size in both sexes, but the extremes of the female are proportionately 

 greater. The Gainesville series as a whole is slightly smaller than the 

 average of Pablo Beach and San Pablo individuals. The smallest 

 male and female measure 12.7 and 16.3 mm. in length of body; the 

 largest 15.3 and 22 mm., all measured individuals being from Pablo 

 Beach. 



The structural variations noticed in Georgia specimens of this species® 

 are also present in this series. The chief color variation in the dried 

 specimens is the depth and extent of the purplish-brown dorsal color. 



The habitats frequented bj' this species are open palmetto scrub, 

 open marsh, tall marsh grass, undergrowth in pine woods and grass- 

 land, by far the greater number of specimens being taken in the 

 palmetto scrub, and all situations are represented in the Pablo 

 Beach series. One specimen from the latter locality was the prey of an 

 asilid fly (Diogrmifes, probably winthemi Wied.) but little larger than 

 the Gynmoscirtetes itself. 



The localities at which this species has been taken, in addition to 

 those given above, are Jacksonville (type locality) and De Funiak 

 Springs, Fla., Way cross and Thomasville, Ga. 



Eotettix signatus Scudder. 



This beautiful species is represented by a series of ten males and four 

 females taken at Pablo Beach, August 11, in marshy spots scattered 

 over the palmetto scrub area back of the beach dunes. In size the 

 specimens are quite uniform, and as the female sex has not been 

 recorded the following measurements of it may be of some interest : 

 Length of body 26.5 mm.; length of pronotum 6.2; length of teg- 

 men 7.6; length of caudal femur 15.5. In color the little variation 

 that is appreciable is probably due to discoloration in drying. 



The only previous record of this species is the original reference, the 

 typical material being one male from East Florida. 



Eotettix palustris Morse. 



At Gainesville, in the rank vegetation around a flooded sink-hole in 

 pine woods, five males and five females of this species were taken on 

 August 16 and 17. In the female sex this species appears to be more 

 variable than E. signatus, but the coloration is, as far as available 

 material goes, constant except for a tendency to suffuse the whole 

 insect with pinkish-red. The extremes of the female sex measure 20.8 

 and 25 mm. in length of body; 5 and 5.2 in length of pronotum; 4 and 

 4.8 in length of tegmen, and 12.3 and 14.6 in length of caudal femur.
