158 FLORIDA HEMIPTERA 



Ft. Myers and Estero. At the latter place it was abundant 

 with its young on the scrub oaks which grew everywhere where 

 the pine forests had been cut away. It seemed to be a vege- 

 table feeder and in no case did I find it on orange or on any 

 cultivated tree. 



34. Edessa bifida Say. 



My three examples were taken at Crescent City, Clear- 

 water and Ft. Myers. 



35. Stiretrus anchorago var. pulchellus Westwood. 



This pretty species was taken on rank vegetation growing 

 along "Lover's Lane" on the Miller estate at Crescent City and 

 later I took one individual at Ft. Myers. Mrs. Slosson has 

 taken the var. finibriatits at Charlotte Harbor and elsewhere 

 in Florida. 



36. Stiretrus anchorago var. violaceus Say. 



Sanford. Of the two examples taken one was of a deep 

 violet black color; the other was tinged with steel blue and green. 



37. Podisus maculiventris Say. 



One dark colored example from Sanford and a paler one 

 from St. Petersburg. 



38. Podisus mucronatus Uhler. 



I found but one example of this interesting insect. This 

 was captured on the rank weeds near a garden at Ft. Myers. 

 Mrs. Slosson has found it at Charlotte Harbor and Biscayne 

 Bay. 



Family Coreidae. 



39. Corynocoris distinctus Dallas. 

 Crescent City and Estero; two examples. 



40. Archimerus calcarator Fabricius. 



Of this species I took specimens at Crescent City, Tampa, 

 Ft. Myers and Estero; all females. That from Tampa has the 

 pronotum proportionately a little broader posteriorly but it does 

 not seem to differ otherwise.
