and three females were taken in the undergrowth in the pine woods. 

 One adult male and five female nymphs were taken at Gainesville, 

 August 16 and 17, in pine woods undergrowth, chiefly scrub palmetto. 

 Cedar Keys is represented by two adult males, one male nymph and 

 two female nymphs, taken August 15 in pine woods undergrowth. 



Two stages are represented in the nymphs from Pablo Beach, only 

 one from the other localities. This species does not possess two 

 color phases differing markedly as in A. sphenarioides , most of the 

 variation observed being in the intensity of the median abdominal 

 bars and the lateral bars of the pronotum. The nymphs in several 

 instances have the abdominal bars strongly marked and almost wholly 

 washed with purplish pink. The Pablo Beach series of adults is quite 

 uniform in size, several females alone being conspicuous on account of 

 their smaller size. The single Gainesville male, however, is distinctly 

 larger than individuals of the same sex from any other locality, the 

 length of body being 21.3 mm., while the largest Pablo Beach male 

 measures 18.5. 



This species has been recorded previously in Florida from Fort 

 Reed, Orange County, Jacksonville, Duval County, and Miami, Dade 

 Coimty. A male from Gotha, Orange County, has also been examined. 



TETTIGONID^. 

 Arethaea phalangium (Scudder). 



A single female of this interesting species was taken in the under- 

 growth in pine woods at Gainesville, August 16. This specimen was 

 the only representative of the species noticed and constitutes the first 

 record of the same from Florida. The previous records are Georgia 

 (Scudder, Brunner), Thomasville, Ga. (Rehnand Hebard), and 

 Victoria, Texas (Caudell). 



Scudderia texensis Saussure and Pictet. 



This widely ranging species was taken at Pablo Beach and Gaines- 

 ville, twomales being taken August 13 at the former locality and one of 

 the same sex on Augvist 16 at the latter. 



The environment at the first locality was open grassland and the 

 slope of a railroad embankment and undergrowth in pine woods at the 

 second. 



Soudderia laticauda Brunner. 



At San Pablo a single female of this large form was taken August 13 

 in pine woods undergrowth. A series of three males and four females 

 taken August 16 at Gainesville in a similar environment are also 

 referred to this species. The Gainesville males show close relation-
