204 FLORIDA HEMIPTERA 



Brachypterous form: Vertex well advanced before the eyes, rather 

 longer than broad; fovae distinct, the apical long and continued well over 

 the anterior edge of the head. Front moderately broad, strongly narrowed 

 between the eyes and slightly at apex, carinse strong, Pronotum unusually 

 long, produced a little before the middle of the eyes; lateral carinse closely 

 following the posterior margin of the eyes. Scutellum about the length of 

 the pronotum; carinae strong, divergent. Color whitish testaceous, a little 

 tinged with yellow or even fulvous on the abdomen and front; facial carinae 

 white; the apical areole of the vertex, clypeus and slender margins of the 

 frontal compartments black. Tergum of the male marked with black on its 

 immediate base and across the middle and with a black median spot on the 

 fulvous basal half; end of the genital segment, a spot on either side of the 

 last ventral segment and another on the metapleura black; anterior and 

 intermediate legs lineated with black. In the female the abdomen is more 

 brownish-yellow marked with black on the sides of the tergum, edges of the 

 ventral segments and along the oviduct. L,egs and lower pleural pieces 

 marked as in the male. In both sexes the disk of the pronotum and mes- 

 onotum are paler than the rest of the surface. Pygofers of the male genital 

 segment broadly subangularly arcuated at apex; the stiles stout, widely 

 divergent and a very little wider toward their truncated apex. 



Described from two male and four female examples taken 

 at Crescent City and St. Petersburg-. One macropterous male 

 differs in being smaller, in having a narrower front not abruptly 

 constricted between the eyes, a shorter vertex and more approx- 

 imate and scarcely divergent mesonotal carinas. It also has 

 the elytra a little embrowned toward the apex where the nerv- 

 ures are darker. The genital characters are the same and it 

 probably belongs here. I have also placed here two macrop- 

 terous females taken by Mrs. Slosson at Biscayne Bay and 

 Lake Worth. They are large, 2^2 mm., have the tergum 

 mostly black and the elytral nervures fuscous toward their apex, 

 the marginal especially heavy and fuscous.
