192 FLORIDA HEMIPTERA 



they were rare and here and at Sanford where they occurred in 

 numbers they were mostly of the unicolorous form described 

 both by Walker and Uhler. Farther south they became abund- 

 ant and were marked with brown and fuscous. In fully colored 

 examples from Estero these markings remind one much of 

 those seen in genus Gclastocoris. 



196. Thionia simplex Germar. 



I swept three examples of this insect from a grassy field 

 near the shore between Sevenoaks and Green Springs. 



Subfamily Acanaloniina?. 



197. Amphiscepa bivittata Say. 



Estero; three examples. These are smaller and paler than 

 those taken farther north. 



198. Amphiscepa pumila VanDuzee. 



I took a good series of this pretty little species on Estero 

 Island. They were swept from a peculiar succulent plant 

 growing along the shore near the line of high tides The 

 males are but 3^2 mm. in length and both sexes are of a uni- 

 form clear pea green with the apical margin very slenderly 

 brown in the male and alternated with brown in the female. 

 Immature specimens are brownish testaceous more or less 

 touched with green according to age, and the specimen taken 

 by Mrs. Slosson from which the species was described was 

 probably in this condition as it had not attained the full green 

 coloring. 



199. Acanalonia latifrons Walker. 



Tampa, Ft. Myers and Estero. At Ft. Myers it was not 

 uncommon. The specimens taken by me agree in every 

 respect with the descriptions by Walker and Melichar except 

 that the scutellum shows the two black points found in the 

 South American florea. My specimens vary from 9 to 12 mm. 

 in length. This species is quite distinct specifically from the 

 single specimen taken by me in Jamaica and listed as Servillei 

 in my report on those Hemiptera. That specimen like these 

 however shows the two black points on the scutellum which are 

 not noticed by either Melichar or Spinola.
