Conocephalus mexicanus Saussure. 



A single female of this species was taken at Cedar Keys, August 15. 

 The caudal femora are slightly longer than in a Tampa specimen, 

 but otherwise the two are inseparable. 



Conocephalus crepitans Scudder. 



A single female of this species was taken at Warchard, Levy County, 

 August 14, during a brief stop of the train. It was in undergrowth in 

 the pine woods close to the railroad track. 



When compared with a female of the species from Lincoln, Neb., 

 the Florida specimen differs only in the slightly longer legs and ovi- 

 positor, being identical in all other characters. The measurements of 

 the two specimens are as follows : 



Lincoln, Warchard, 



Neb. Fla. 



Length of body, 36.5 mm. 36 mm. 



Length of pronotum, 8.5 " 8.8 " 



Length of tegmen, 55 '' 59.5 " 



Length of caudal femur, 28.8 " 34.8 " 



Length of ovipositor, 32.8 " 36.2 " 



The capture of this species in Florida carries its range a considerable 

 distance east, the previously known range extending from Nebraska and 

 Iowa south to Texas and Arkansas. 



Conocephalus melanorhinus n. sp. 



Type: 9 ; Cedar Keys, Levy County, Fla., August 12, 1905. (Hebard 

 and Rehn.) 



Allied to C. rohustus Scudder and lyristcs Rehn and Hebard, differing 

 from the former in the blunter fastigium which is almost wholly black 

 ventrad, the narrower disk of the pronotum, the straighter tegmina 

 and the slightly deeper and considerably shorter ovipositor. From 

 lyristes the new species differs in the larger size, the form of the fasti- 

 gium, the more robust general form and the shorter ovipositor. 



Size rather large; form elongate, rather slender. Head with the 

 fastigium hardly elevated dorsad of the level of the occiput; fastigium
