176 FLORIDA HEMIPTERA 



at Haw Creek near Crescent City. This generic name now 

 replaces Brachyrhynchus which is preoccupied. These were the 

 only Aradids taken by me but Mrs. Slosson has reported a num- 

 ber more including the rare southern Calisins pallipes Stal. 



Family Reduviidse. 



103. Ploiariodes errabunda Say. 



Taken at Crescent City, Sanford, Tampa and Ft. Myers. 



104. Emesa longipes DeGeer. 



Crescent City; nymphs and adults taken together. 



105. Stenopoda culiciformis Fabricius. 

 Ft. Myers; one nymph. 



106. Conorhinus sanguisugus Le Conte. 

 Estero. Sometimes troublesome about houses. 



107. Sirthenea carinata Fabricius. 



Clearwater; one example taken at electric light. This 

 specimen bit viciously when captured producing a wound as 

 painful as that inflicted by the Notonectas. 



108. Ectrichodia cruciata Say. 

 Crescent City; one example. 



109. Apiomerus crassipes Fabricius. 



Crescent City, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa and 

 Estero. Not uncommon and exhibiting no great variation. 



no. Zelus bilobus Say. 



Crescent City, Sanford and Estero. In this species the legs 

 and antennae are entirely black; in longipes the legs are annul- 

 ated while in rubidus the legs and antennas all are annulated. 

 In bilobus and rubidus the venter is rufous but in longipes it is 

 banded with black. These forms are very close and might per- 

 haps be arranged as varieties of one species as was done by 

 Stal in his Hemiptera Mexicana.
