l86 FLORIDA HEMIPTERA 



in Belfragei, the outer apical angle rounded; costa feebly sinuated beyond 

 the middle; inner ulnar nervure twice forked beyond the middle, outer ulnar 

 forked near its base but distinctly farther than in the preceding species, its 

 two branches simple until lost in the confused venation of the apical por- 

 tion. Postocular tubercle subacute. Anterior femora broadly foliaceous, 

 the intermediate narrower. 



Color dull testaceous brown, more or less tinged with ferruginous 

 especially on the base of the elytra; vertex, pronotum and scutellum min- 

 utely irrorate with paler; face paler testaceous with a still lighter indeterm- 

 inate apical band which covers the lateral pleural pieces; anterior and inter- 

 mediate legs black irrorate with pale; the posterior pale irrorate with fus- 

 cous; venter fuscous irrorate with pale or testaceous irrorate with fuscous. 

 Elytra ferruginous or almost coccineous on the basal one half, sometimes 

 obscurely clouded with fuscous in places; apical half hyaline, fusco venose, 

 with a large fuscous cloud at apex which is bisected by an oblique hyaline 

 vitta from the outer angle. In pale examples this oblique vitta is strongly 

 distinguished by an irregular fuscous cloud on either side. Wings coccin- 

 eous at base, then fuscous for a space and again along the immediate apex, 

 the intermediate surface hyaline with fuscous veins. 



Described from numerous examples taken at all places 

 where I collected in Florida but more abundantly toward the 

 south. This species is most closely related to suavis Stal but 

 the hyaline areas of the elytra are much more extended, the 

 colors seem to be different as is also the form of the vertex. I 

 believe them to be entirely distinct. 



It affords me pleasure to dedicate this fine Fulgorid to Mr. 

 Ottomar Reinecke of this city, an experienced collector of the 

 Coleoptera, whose enthusiasm and friendly interest during 

 many years acquaintance has been an inspiration to me in 

 my insect studies. 



Subfamily Dictyopharinse. 



174. Dictyophara lingula VanDuzee. 



One example swept from a tall wiry grass near the river at 

 Estero. This species was described last year from material 

 taken by me in New Jersey and a Florida specimen received 

 from Mrs. Slosson. 



I took the young of one other species of Dictyophara in 

 Florida but these are too immature for me to fix the species. 



175. Scolops desiccatus Uhler. 



Crescent City and Sanford; two examples only. One larva, 

 perhaps of this species, was taken at Sevenoaks.
