176. Phylloscelis atra Germar. 



Taken occasionally at St. Petersburg, Sevenoaks, Ft. Myers 

 and Estero. 



177. Phylloscelis pallescens Germar. 



Not uncommon among the sparse grasses and low huckle- 

 berry bushes on the pine barrens at Estero. 



Subfamily Tropiduchina?. 



178. Pelitropis rotulata Van Duzee. 



Six examples of this interesting insect were beaten from 

 bushes at Ft. Myers and Estero. These specimens are pale 

 testaceous and only slightly tinged with green. 



Subfamily Achiliina?. 



179. Catonia picta VanDuzee. 



Estero ; two examples. In these the general color is rather 

 more ferruginous than testaceous, becoming darker on the 

 scutellum and base of the elytra and almost piceous on the front 

 where there are two rather narrow transverse white vitta?. 

 The broad transverse pale band on the elytra also is nearly 

 obsolete. Otherwise they do not differ from the type which 

 was from New Jersey. 



Subfamily Cixiinas. 



180. Bothriocera undata Fabricius. 



A small dark form probably of this species was taken every- 

 where I collected in Florida. At Crescent City I found a pale 

 variety abundant among ferns and weeds in a dark shady copse 

 near "lover's lane" on the Miller estate. I also took this pale 

 form at Sevenoaks but elsewhere I found only the darker 

 fuscous form. 



181. Oliarus vicarius Walker. 



Not uncommon in the barren pine woods at Estero and 

 less frequent at Ft. Myers, St. Petersburg, Clearwater and 

 Sevenoaks. In this species the female is larger, reaching a 

 length of 9 mm. at times, and is much more strongly marked
