with the body length; when in repose the anal fields of the tegmina 

 are similarly deplanate with coloration normally paler and less macu- 

 late than the discoidal and marginal fields. When compared with 

 citrina the present insect is found to be more robust. The frontal 

 costa is slightly wider and also shows the same feature of the lateral 

 carinae as given above. The lateral lobes of the pronotum are much 

 more compressed cephalad of the principal sulcus, with disk at this 

 point much more distinctly narrowed as a result, but with caudal mar- 

 gin of disk similar (in citrina the caudal angle of the disk is, how- 

 ever, more frequently slightly less than rectangulate). The tegmina in 

 citrina differ in being proportionately wider and also relatively more 

 elongate when compared with the body length, and in having the anal 

 fields when in repose not as strikingly deplanate with coloration the 

 same as the remaining portions. The caudal femora are similar in 

 the two species. 



The coloration and markings of this species are normally distinctive. 

 The caudal tibiae in all of the material before us are scarlet (60% 

 red, 40% orange), in citrina these portions are grenadine red (40% 

 red, 60% orange). As in maritima, this species has the internal faces 

 of the caudal femora pale yellowish with two dark bands, with genicu- 

 lar areas not at all or but little suffused; in citrina the coloration of 

 these portions is similar but with the genicular areas normally black. 



Type: 9 ; Miami Beach, Florida. March 7, 191 5. (He- 

 bard). [Hebard Collection Type No. 405.] 



Description of Type. Size medium, form moderately robust for the 

 genus. Head similar to that of maritima^ with face even smoother 

 and less pitted than in that species. Pronotum rather short, prozona 

 distinctly compressed this greatest at the cephalic dorsal suture, metazona 

 deplanate. Median carina not strongly but distinctly bicristate on the 

 prozona, the cephalic slightly longer than the caudal crest but of equal 

 height ; of almost equal height cephalad but very gradually less promi- 

 nent caudad on the metazona. Lateral carinae well developed on 

 metazona but continued well defined by the color pattern only on meta- 

 zona. Tegmina moderately elongate, proportionately narrow. Wings 

 of much the same proportions as in maritima; wing band narrow but 

 solid, with greatest width in the radiate field, 4. mm. Caudal femora 

 as in citrina. Coloration distinctive. 



Allotype: $ ; same data as type but taken March 12, 1915. 



Description of Allotype. Very similar to type but smaller, agreeing 

 in all other characters given except width of wing band which is in 

 greatest width in the radiate field, 4.7 mm. 



In addition to the type and allotype, the series of 34 males 



'A difference in the frontal costa, discussed above, is well indicated 

 in this specimen ; this difference, though slight, is indicated in the 

 majority of specimens of the present species before us.
