beneath whitish varied with fuscous on the sides of the venter; 

 oviduct fuscous or black. Legs pale, the femora fuscous exteriorly. 

 Length nearly 4 mm. 



Male: A little smaller than the female. Pale straw becoming 

 fulvous on the sides of the scutellum and abdomen. Vertex and face 

 greenish white, the front showing two transverse fulvous vittae but 

 wanting the fuscous markings found in the female. Elytra without 

 the fuscous markings but showing a white subapical cloud and the 

 black points as described in the female, those on the clavus and 

 costa much reduced or obsolete. 



Described from numerous specimens swept from low 

 huckleberry bushes and accompanying weeds and grasses 

 on the dry pine barrens at Sanford, Sevenoaks, Ft. Myers 

 and Estero. This is a very pretty little species dis- 

 tinguished by the greenish front banded with fulvous and 

 marked with a fuscous lunule in the female. In one female 

 the fuscous markings of the elytra form a large blackish 

 cloud on the base of the clavus and an elongated mark on the 

 disk of the corium posteriorly against the claval suture." 



THE SUBFAMILY TROPIDUCHINAE STAL 

 (Stal, Hemip. Afr. iv, pp. 130, 186, 1866, Tropiduchida) 



Members of this subfamily occur in all parts of the 

 world, most of the genera, however, being found in the indo- 

 malaysian and neotropical regions. The elytral membrane 

 is strongly differentiated from the corium with numerous 

 simple longitudinal nervures and there is no ampliation or 

 overlapping of the elytra at the apsx. There are three 

 American species, representing as many genera, two of 

 which are known only from Florida. 



Key to the genera 



Frons not keeled in the middle; line of cross-veins obliquely 



placed Pelitropis Van D 



Frons with swollen median keel, Monopsis Spin. 



Frons with median keel ; keel of vertex simple, the middle sector 

 forked on the middle of the corium, the inner forked vein 

 branching again, the inner sector forked before the mid- 

 dle; line of cross-veins transversely placed, no subapical 

 line, Neurotemeta Guer.
