154 FLORIDA HEMIPTERA 



8. Thyreocoris lateralis Fabricius. 



Common and widely distributed in Florida. In a few 

 examples the pale border to the elytra is much reduced or 

 interrupted and at times may be entirely absent as recorded by 

 Dr. Uhler. Prof. Wickham has recently sent me a specimen 

 taken by him at Apipulco, Mexico. This is the species des- 

 cribed by me as Gillettii in 1894. Elsewhere I have given my 

 reasons for changing this determination. 



9. Thyreocoris pulicarius Germar. 



Taken in abundance everywhere I collected in Florida. 

 This seems quite distinct from the larger northern form I have 

 called marginellus Dallas. It may best be distinguished from 

 that species by the more produced head, the margins of which 

 are much more deeply sinuated before the eyes, and by the apex 

 being more convex transversely. The whole surface of the 

 head is also more closely and coarsely punctured. 



Family Cydnidse. 



10. Cyrtomenus mirabilis Perty. 



This large Cydnid was not uncommon about the electric 

 lights at Clearwater on the evening of April 28th. We did not 

 take it elsewhere. 



11. Qeotomus robustus Uhler. 



Two examples swept from a weedy field at Tampa. 

 T2. Amnestus pusillus Uhler. 



Of this tiny species I took a single specimen while sweep- 

 ing the dry prairies at Haw Creek near Crescent City. 



Family Pentatomida?. 



13. Brochymena arborea Say. 

 Taken at Crescent City and Sanford. 



14. Trichopepla semivittata Say. 

 Crescent City; one example.
