to invaria Walker but the rostrum is shorter and the ventral 

 sulcus is abbreviated, affecting- the first and second segments 

 only. 



I have in my collection one female Loxa from British 

 Guiana that agrees very completely with Walker's description 

 of deducta and I so identified the species in my list of the Hem- 

 iptera of British Guiana. Dr. Distant however identifies de- 

 ducta Walk, with jlavicollis Drury, a large species with which 

 this could not possibly be confused. I am inclined to think 

 that in this case the type labels in the British Museum have 

 become misplaced. 



27. Nezara pennsylvanica DeGeer. 



Two males and one female of this rare species were taken 

 at Sanford. 



28. Nezara hilaris Say. 

 Crescent City, one example. 



29. Nezara viridula Linnens. 



Crescent City, Clearwater and Sevenoaks, not uncommon. 



30. Banasa Ienticularis Uhler. 



Two examples of what I believe to be this species were 

 taken at Crescent City. These are light green blotched with 

 darker green and seem not to be fully developed. They have 

 the subspinose connexival angles found in calva and dimidiata 

 and the sparse punctuation found in Packardii and varians but 

 the characters of the genitalia are quite distinct from either. 

 They seem to be entirely identical with this West Indian species 

 a typical example of which was kindly given me by Dr. Uhler. 



31. Piezodorus Guildingi Westwood. 



One small male was taken from the bushes near Phillippi's 

 Mound north of Green Springs. 



32. Arvelius albopunctatus DeGeer. 



Crescent City, one example. Mrs. Slosson has taken it at 

 Biscajme Bay. 



^- Dendrocoris fruticicola Bergroth. 



I took this species as far north as Tampa and Sevenoaks 

 but it was much more common southward where I found it at
