robust, the smaller more slender). Pronotum, tegmina, tympana, prosternal 

 spine, cercus, supra-anal plate (except that a thickening or tooth is often 

 present proximad on the lateral margins), paraprocts, subgenital plate and 

 pseudosternite as described for aptera simplex. Furcula very similar, but 

 projecting portions no longer than wide. Penis of similar type but with 

 dorsal lobes each strikingly developed into two large, shagreenous, approxi- 

 mate, bulbous lobes of which the ventral is the larger, while the dorsal pair 

 of parameres have their dorsal surfaces broader. 



Allotype. — $ ; same data as type. [Hebard Collection] . 



Indistinguishable from this sex of aptera simplex, (but averaging larger 

 and slightly more robust). 



Coloration much as described for aptera simplex, the males apparently 

 more often with margins of medio-longitudinal abdominal stripe pinkish 

 brown and entire apex of abdomen pink. The males from Ocala have the 

 brown suffusions more extensive, while the pronotum usually has a medio- 

 longitudinal brown line, rarely the pale medio-longitudinal abdominal band 

 with its lateral suffusions continued to near the cephalic margin of this 

 tergite. In the present race the caudal tibiae are usually deep glaucous, 

 sometimes paler and sometimes have the dorsal surface purplish or pinkish. 



The following extremes in measurements are shown by the series.

28 This locality is probably well to the north of the northern line of fairly 



general distribution of the species. It was not seen by Fox at nearby 

 localities or elsewhere in the region by Rehn and Hebard.
