ship in the form of tlie genitaha to the figure of »S. curvicauda given by 

 ScikUUm-, hut the females are unquestionably laticauda by the size and 

 shape of the ovijiositor. The males are larger than northern speci- 

 mens of ctirvicauda, agreeing in this respect with the associated Gaines- 

 ville females and also with the measurements given by the describer. 

 Soudderia cuneata Morse. 



A single female from Pablo Beach, August 11, in palmetto scrub, 

 represents this species. A female from Miami has been used for 

 comparison and the Pablo Beach individual differs only in its slightly 

 smaller size. 



The range of this species is now known to be from Alabama and 

 southern Georgia (Thomasville) south to southern Florida (Miami). 



Symmetropleara modesta Brunner. 



This species, previously known only from the male tj^pe from 

 "Carolina" and a female specimen from North Carolina, is represented 

 by a male individual taken from floating water hyacinth {Piaropus 

 crassipes) in the St. John's River by the wharves of Palatka, on August 

 18. No other specimen of the species was noticed. 



When compared with Brunner's original description the Palatka 

 male is slightly larger than the type, and also differs in having the 

 margins of the tympanum and the caudal margin of the tegmina lined 

 with ochraceous, in addition to the angles of the pronotum mentioned 

 in the original description. The apices of the tegmina are slightly and 

 the exposed portions of the wings are strongly washed with brownish. 



Amblyoorypha floridana Rehn and Hebard. 



A series of two males and six females represents this species, the 

 original basis of which w^as chiefly damaged material. With the 

 material in this series more detailed comparisons can be made with A. 

 ohlongifolia, to which floridana is closely allied. 



The less curved form and rather smaller size of the ovipositor will 

 serve to separate the female of floridana from that of oblongijolia, while 

 in the male the tympanum is distinctly narrower, both actually and 

 proportionally, than in ohlongifolia. The lateral angles of the disk 

 of the pronotum are as a rule by no means as sharply rectangulate as in 

 ohlongifolia and the disk itself is broader caudad in the latter species. 

 From the evidence in hand it appears that floridana represents the 

 southern extreme of ohlongifolia, as individuals from Thomasville, 

 Ga., are as near floridana as ohlongifolia, the ovipositor being more 

 curved and larger and the pronotal angles more distinct than in flori- 

 dana, but the narrower tympanum and the comparatively narrower
