2IO FLORIDA HEMIPTERA 



264. Agallia constricta VanDuzee. 



Common at Crescent City and Sanford but not found at the 

 southern end of the state. 



265. Agallia sanguinolenta Provancher. 

 Crescent City and Sanford; two examples. 



266. Agallia lyrata Baker? 



Crescent City; one male. The characters of the male 

 genital segment in this example agree exactly with Baker's 

 description but the colors are darker and the markings more 

 distinct. Considering the difference in locality it would not be 

 surprising if this should prove to be distinct. 



267. Agallia deleta n. sp. 



Allied to constricta but smaller and unicolorous brown. 

 Length 2^ to 3 mm. 



Form of constricta nearly, the vertex short as in that species and thus 

 crowding the ocelli low down on the face. Pronotum short, its surface 

 posteriorly coarsely transversely wrinkled and separated from the smooth 

 anterior margin by a sinuated impressed line. Elytra rather long and nar- 

 rowed posteriorly, about as in constricta. Last ventral segment of the fe- 

 male short, truncate behind or a little concavely arcuated; pygofers broad 

 and well inflated at base with their apex less produced than in constricta 

 and scarcely exceeded by the oviduct. Valve of the male long and almost 

 truncated at apex; plates very short, broad on their immediate base then 

 abruptly narrowed to a short obtuse apex. 



Color brown obscurely tinged with fulvous, almost unicolorous in the 

 female, a little paler beneath. In the male the disk of the tergum and 

 venter are black, the elytra are subhyaline, a little clouded with fuscous 

 toward the apex and discolored by the black disk of the tergum beneath; 

 basal angles of the scutellum sometimes blackish showing through as fus- 

 cous marks on the base of the pronotum; basal dots on the vertex some- 

 times indicated; antennal pits conspicuously black, the sutures of the face at 

 times fuscous below the antennte. In both sexes the eyes are brown, the 

 tarsal claws are black and the elytral nervures are concolorous but distinct. 



Described from four male and two female examples taken 

 at Crescent City, Sanford and Ft. Myers. The males show 

 some obscure lighter marks on the base of the pronotum in 

 addition to the dark spots on the basal angles of the scutellum. 

 The male genital characters are very distinct from those of any 

 other species known to me.
