53. Harmostes af finis Dallas. 



At Ft. Myers I collected quite a series of what I took to be 

 Harmostes serratns but on comparison with a series of the lat- 

 ter species taken by me in Jamaica I find that these Florida 

 specimens are less strongly dotted, the antennal joints are more 

 nearly equal in length, the rostrum is shorter and the tuberc- 

 ular spines on the antenniferous processes are shorter and are 

 directed forward, and the clypeus is less produced at apex. In 

 serratns the acutely produced tylus almost attains the apex of 

 the first antennal joint and the spines at the base of the antennae 

 are directed distinctly outward as well as forward. These 

 specimens seem to be conspecific with the Texan example de- 

 termined as affinis in my paper on Jamaican Hemiptera (p. 13,) 

 although that specimen is paler in color and has a still shorter 

 rostrum. 



54. Corizus (Liorhyssus) hyalinus Fabr. 



At Estero I took three very small pale colored specimens 

 that I believe belong to this species. They are almost immac- 

 ulate except for a black area toward the base of the tergum. 



55. Corizus (Arhyssus) lateralis Say. 



One large somewhat immature example of this common 

 and variable species was taken at Sanford. Two other uncer- 

 tain forms of Corizus were taken at Sanford and Crescent City 

 both of which are near lateralis and possibly are not distinct. 



56. Corizus (Arhyssus) punctatus Signoret. 



Crescent City; one example. This species is very near to 

 nigristernum Sign, as I have formerly determined that species, 

 but it has the dorsal plate of the female genital segment a little 

 longer and more pointed and a ventral plate of nearly the same 

 shape as that found in its ally. The present specimen is a little 

 lighter in color than an example from San Rita Mts. , Arizona, 

 kindly given me by Prof. Snow. 



57- Corizus (Niesthrea) sidae Fabricius. 



This southern species seemed to be rare in Florida. I took 

 examples at Crescent City and St. Petersburg representing both
