For many years Cor ens alternatus Say has been placed as 

 a synonym of this species but they most certainly are distinct. 

 Calcarator differs from alternatus in the following particulars : 

 It is a little smaller and paler and wants the white marks on the 

 margin of the abdomen ; the arrangement of the femoral spines 

 is different; the bucculae are distinctly shorter and more elev- 

 ated, the lateral plates of the female genital segment are less 

 rounded behind and the antennas are more slender, with their 

 basal joint less incrassated. A. calcarator was described from 

 Carolina but the only specimens I have seen are from Florida. 

 Say's species was described from the Missouri Territory of that 

 day but my material is from Kansas. 



From the late Prof. Snow I have received an example of 

 the closely related A. indecorns Walker taken by him in south- 

 ern Arizona. This species has the maculated connexivum of 

 alternatus but it is paler in color; the pronotum is more expand- 

 ed and is marked with three longitudinal dark vittse, the scu- 

 tellum is marked with pale and the outer genital plates of the 

 female are larger and more acute behind than in either of the 

 preceding species. 



41. Spartocera confluenta Say. 



Crescent City and Clearwater. I took this species on gar- 

 den fences much as Anasa tristis is found in the north. For 

 many years this insect has been identified with Sagotylus trigut- 

 tatus H. S. which however is a very distinct insect. This is a 

 true Spartocera very near to fusca of which Stal places it as a 

 synonym. I believe however that it is sufficiently distinct to 

 be given specific rank. 



42. Euthoctha galea tor Fabricius. 



Taken at all stations but much more abundant toward the 

 south. 



43. Acanthocephala femorata Fabricius. 



This large coarse insect was not uncommon at most places 

 where we collected. It was most abundant about 4 p. m. 

 flying about weedy places in the bright sunlight; later in the 

 evening they could be picked off from the weeds and grasses 

 where they were resting. 



44. Leptoglossus phyllopus Linneus. 

 Abundant everywhere in Florida.
