This remarkable species was found in abundance on the Mira- 

 beau estate, on the windward side of the island. It has also been 

 taken in Florida and Cuba. The notes of capture are as follows : — 

 March 25, at an altitude of 500 feet above sea-level, on herbage 

 in open places near a stream of water ; AprU 7, at an altitude of 250 

 feet, came to light in the night, and was also swept from herbage ; 

 also April 13 and 27, in second-growth woods and in weedy 

 places. 



This is a variable species, approaching very near to iV. califor- 

 nicus, Stal, from which it can be at once distinguished by the 

 longitudinal callosities of the pronotum.
