143. Resthenia sp. 



This was a common species at all localities. It has the 

 body sanguineous with the disk of the head, antennas, legs, 

 apex of the abdomen, scutellum and elytra, its costal margin 

 excepted, black. It has a rostrum reaching to the intermediate 

 coxae. Sometimes the sanguineous portions are lighter or even 

 yellowish. 



144. Resthenia insignis Say. 



Common and widely distributed in Florida. 



145. Trigonotylus pulcher Reuter. 



Taken frequently at Crescent City, Sanford, St. Petersburg 

 and Ft. Myers. 



T46 Collaria oculata Reuter. 



Crescent City and Sevenoaks ; two examples. 



147. Lomatopleura sp 



Crescent City and Sanford. I have taken this species at 

 Phoenicia and Lancaster, N. Y. 



148. Haltica Uhleri Girard. 



Of this common and widely distributed species I took a 

 male at Crescent City and a female at Sanford. 



149. Garganus fusiformis Say. 

 Crescent City. Not common. 



150. Coquillettia mimetica Osborn. 



Two males and three females from Crescent City. This 

 interesting insect is allied to insignis Uhler but it is smaller, 

 the colors are darker, the ground color of the elytra being ful- 

 vous where it is olive in insignis. The shape of the head is 

 also quite distinctive ; in mimetica this is narrowed behind the 

 eyes in a neck which is almost as long as the width of the eye. 

 The females look very much like a large black ant but the long 

 legs and different movements will quickly reveal their identity 

 to the practised collector. Mrs. Slosson has taken this at 

 Jacksonville.
