This insect in external appearance strongly resembles aptera 

 aptera Scudder. Its range includes the greater portion of west- 

 ern peninsular Florida except the northern section, and through- 

 out this extensive area it apparently completely supplants aptera 

 except that the ranges of the two evidently overlap in a narrow 

 northeastern strip. 



In spite of the great general similarity, however, both sexes 

 may be easily distinguished from that race without dissection, 

 the males by the usually narrow pronotal bands (which are 

 usually, but not always, tinged with orange) and the scarcely 

 enlarged apex of the abdomen combined with the much sharper 

 and less extensive elevation of the pallium (caused by the very 

 differently shaped penis), the females by the presence of pale 

 lateral pronotal bands (also developed in aptera coquinae here 

 described, alone of the races of that species). 



The penis, though of wholly different type from that of any 

 of the more closely allied species, shows close similarity to the 

 type developed in sphenarioides Scudder, except for the greater 



34 At the time I thought an unknown race or species might be present, 

 peculiar to the Silver Palm. Laboratory examination, however, immedi- 

 ately showed that nothing of the sort occurs in either case. 



35 Contrary to our original comments on these immatures, the present 

 species shows microscopic rudimentary tegminal scales not only in adults 

 but also in the later instars of immaturity in both sexes. 



36 Named in honor of T. H. Hubbell, whose masterly studies in the 

 Orthoptera and constant cooperation have been of the utmost value to the 

 author.
