60 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
vard, Orange, Lake and Hernando Counties. (This is further 
north, particularly on the West Coast, than the botanists usu- 
ally draw the dividing line—Ed.) 
Representative of these southern forms would be Plectoptera 
poeyi, a Cuban form taken at Key West; Anaxipha imitator 
(Cuba) ; Orocharis gryllodes (W. 1.), Tafalisca lurida (W. I.). 
Among the problems that need attention are: the relation of 
Florida forms or races to those outside the state, (Mr. Walker 
mentioned particularly Brachypterus melanopli and Pterophylla 
camellifolia in this connection) and the geographical and eco- 
logical distribution within the state, a practically untouched 
field. 
The speaker mentioned as particular regions that need atten- 
tion the northern tier of counties, the Apalachicola region where 
many relics are found among the plants, the coastal islands, the 
tropical hammocks and the mangrove swamps. As an example 
of the result to be expected from working unpromising and lit- 
tle studied habitats he mentioned the following rare forms 
found during a brief investigation of a mangrove swamp: Eubo- 
relia ambigua, Hygronemobius alleni, Anaxipha scia. 
The thick tropical hammocks have alréady yielded Phrixa 
maya, a Yucutan species; Turpilia rostrata; Oligacanthopus 
prograptus, known only from south Florida; Anaxipha imitator; 
Orocharis gryllodes and Tafalisca lurida. 
ON A COLLECTION OF THYSANOPTERA 
FROM HONDURAS 
J. R. WATSON AND T. H. HUBBELL 
The following is a report on a collection of thrips taken by 
the junior author along the Tela and Truxillo divisions of the 
United Fruit Company’s railroad at Honduras during March, 
April and May 1923. All data on distribution and food plants 
are from his field notes. The insects were determined by the 
senior author. Two of the seven species (Sedulothrips hubbelli 
and Liothrips perseae) were new and have been described else- 
where (Bull. 168, Fla. Agric. Exp. Station). 
Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouche). The greenhouse Thrips. 
On avocadoes, Puerto Arturo. Mar. 13. 
Selenothrips rubrocinctus (Giard). The red-banded Thrips. 
On cocoa plants. Tela Division, Colorado District, 
Aguas Calientes Farm. Not found on Dakota Farm.
