with apex decidedly broader, over twice as wide as deep and feebly bilobate. 

 Interspace between mesosternal lobes in length distinctl}^ less than twice its 

 least width. Caudal tibiae with (eleven and twelve) spines. 



Allotype. — 9 ; same data as type. [Hebard Collection.] 

 Agrees with male except in the following features. Size much larger, form 

 much more robust. Eyes slightly shorter than cheek. (Tegmina similar, this 

 feature serving best to separate females of this species from davi.n.) Ovipositor 

 valves moderately elongate, not strongly curved dlstad to acute apices. Inter- 

 space between mesosternal lobes scarcely longer than broad.

The size average is decidedly less for the Carrabelle material than for the 

 series from ^Voodville, decidedh' greater than that series for the Ocala speci- 

 mens. Material from additional localities will be needed to determine whether 

 the difference is attributable to geographic distribution or merely to different 

 local environmental conditions. 



The coloration is almost identical with that of davisi, the only noteworthy 

 feature being the postocular dark bands in the female. This band averages 

 narrower and is rarely continued beyond the principal sulcus in the females 

 from Woodville and Carrabelle. In the eight females from Ocala it is decidedly 

 broader, but shows no irregularities of its ventral margin or mesa! pale marking, 

 as it does when developed to this degree in davisi. 



The three immature females at hand from Woodville are solidly greenish 

 yellow, with face and disk of pronotum weakly suffused in two, but showing 

 no trace of postocular bars. These are from the series showing greater reces- 

 sive coloration and immatures from Ocala would probably show the same 

 features found in davisi. 



Specimens Examined: 84; 36 males, 45 females and 3 immature females. 



Florid.\ : Woodville, Carrabelle and Ocala. 



A series of twenty eight males and thirty four females from 

 Woodville, bearing the same data as the type, are designated 

 paratypes. The entire series was taken between September 1 

 and 19, 1915 and 1917, by Rehn and Hebard.
