tip of the third antennal joint paler and the apex of the discal 

 area of the elytra blackish. In all other respects they agree 

 with Champion's description and figure. 



Monanthia monotropidia Stal. 



Three examples swept from weeds along the road to Para- 

 dise Pen at Montego Bay, April 8th. 



Monanthia c=nigrum Champ. 



Mandeville, three examples: a large specimen taken on the 

 hillside near the Newleigh House, March 29th, and two smaller 

 ones from a cultivated field April 3d. These all agree well with 

 Champion's figure and description except that the femora are 

 concolorous, ferruginous, instead of black. 



Family Phymatidse 



Phymata marginata Fabr. ? 



I took one example of this little species from bushes along 

 the roadside in Balaclava village on April 6th. This is a male 

 measuring but five millimetres in length, and differs from the 

 figure and description given by Handlirsch in having the pos- 

 terior "wings" of the pronotum and the expansion of the con- 

 nexivum on the fourth abdominal segment less pronounced and 

 acute. They ^eem to agree in all other essential respects and 

 I see no reason to doubt the correctness of this determination. 



Family Veliida? 



Rhagovelia Taylorella Kirk. 



I found quite a colony of these active little insects sporting 

 on the surface of a small stream near the railroad station at 

 Troja. In all of these the legs are metallic greenish black, 

 with the trochanters, coxae, base of the anterior femora and of 

 the other femora beneath, fulvous. 



Microvelia pulchella Westw. 



One fully winged example that I determine as Westwood's 

 species was taken from a rivulet near the road about a mile 

 south of the Constant Spring Hotel. The elytra in this are 

 really dull whitish with the nervures broadly fuscous; the por- 

 notal collum is fulvous, bisected by the blackish median pro- 

 notal line. This individual answers in all respects to the brief 

 description given by Amyot and Serville except that the elytra
