More than a dozen specimens of this peculiar insect were 

 collected at Balthazar and other localities. At Balthazar it was 

 beaten from herbage, in open places, at night, on March 19. 

 On the Chantilly estate it was found March 7, on herbage in 

 the cocoa orchards. One specimen was captured in August, at 

 Balthazar.

This common species is widely distributed throughout the 

 littoral region of the United States south of Pennsylvania. Pamera 

 parvula, Dallas, is a synonym of this form, which should be re- 

 placed by the name given above. It has a wide distribution, 

 spreading from Central Brazil through the regions of Colombia, 

 Central America, Mexico, and the Antilles into the United States. 



In Grenada it appears to be as common as in Cuba and San 

 Domingo. Specimens were taken at Balthazar, 1900 feet above 

 the sea, April 2, in open grassy places, upon herbage. It was also 

 found in August on the Mount Gray estate, and in other localities 

 on the island. 



2. Pameea bixobata, Say. 



Pamera bilohata, Say, Heteropt. New Harmony, p. 17, no. 7. 



This is also a common species with a wide distribution south- 

 ward and westward from the United States to Brazil and Colombia. 

 At Balthazar it occurred at an altitude of 1900 feet above the 

 sea, April 2, on grassy and weedy lands, where it was beaten from 

 herbage ; it was also taken as late as April 25, in second-growth 

 thickets on plants. 



3. Pameea ctjetipes, Stal. 



Pamera curvipes, Stal, Enum. Hemipt. pt. 4, 1874, p. 148. 



A variety of this species was found in moderate abundance at 

 Balthazar, Chantilly, and other places. It was met with in March 

 under decaying vines and weeds on a damp rock ; while the 

 greater number of the specimens were obtained later in the season 

 on rank herbage and in thickets.
