Subfamily FJatinse. 



200. Ormenis pruinosa Say. 



Sevenoaks and Estero. This species was abundant at all 

 places where I collected in Florida. In the northern portions 

 of the state only larvae were found but at Estero adults were 

 fairly abundant although imperfectly colored. 



201. Ormenis rufifascia Walker. 



Ft. Myers and Estero, not uncommon ; Clearwater, one 

 example. In fully colored individuals the head, pronotum and 

 scutellum are deep green with two broad approximate deep 

 orange longitudinal vittas which reappear further down on the 

 face; the face is also bordered with orange basally. The sides 

 of the scutellum are pale fulvous as are also the inner and apical 

 margins of the elytra. On the elytra there is but one distinct 

 subapical line of transverse veinlets but a second line is fairly 

 well indicated. This species has the size and general outline 

 of septentrionalis but the apical angles of the elytra are more 

 rounded. 



202. Cyarda Melichari Van Duzee. 



Common everywhere in Florida. I found it especially 

 abundant on the dry prairies at Haw Creek near Crescent City 

 and but little less so throughout the monotonous pine forests 

 that cover nearly the whole state. As pointed out by me last 

 year (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. , xix, p. 496,) this is distinct 

 from the Cyarda taken by me in Jamaica which I now identify 

 as acuminipennis Spinola. 



203. Flatoides punctatus Walker. 



Taken occasionally on trees and bushes at all places where 

 I collected in Florida. Most of these specimens are quite 

 strongly tinged with green but some are more testaceous and 

 all when fresh are covered with a gray powder which renders 

 them inconspicuous on the whitish trunks of certain trees on 

 which they most frequently rest. 



In Jamaica I took a species which I formerly identified as 

 Dascalia grisea Fabricius but I am now convinced that that 

 was an error and that the species is really the Dascalia acuta of
