Mrs. Slosson has sent me one pair taken at Belleair which 

 I believe may belong to this species and will in that case slight- 

 ly modify the above description. In these the ground color is 

 more testaceous with the dark maculation of the head and pro- 

 notum fairly distinct, This maculation consists of the median 

 line and two round dots on the vertex and four spots on the 

 disk of the pronotum, the posterior pair more distant with a 

 median oblong spot between them. Exterior to these four spots 

 there is a dark cloud and the elytra are more infuscated than in 

 the typical specimens with the nervures paler. The genital 

 characters are identical with those of the typical form and such 

 a range in coloration is not unusual in this genus. 



268. Idiocerus nervatus VanDuzee. 



Crescent City; two examples. In these the nervures of the 

 wings are not as deep fuscous as is usual in this species. 



Family Tettigoniellidge. 



269. Aulacizes guttata Uhler. 



Ft. Myers; one example. This is the insect identified by 

 Dr. Ball as Aulacizes pollinosa Fowler of which I have exam- 

 ined specimens so determined by Dr. Ball. I confess however 

 that I cannot make these agree satisfactorily with either the 

 description or figure of this species given in the Biologia. But 

 this can have no effect on the name here used as the species was 

 well described by Dr. Uhler in the Standard Natural History 

 under this name which, having priority over Fowler's name, 

 must be used even if it be considered but a variety of irrorata 

 Fabr. and identical with pollinosa Fowler. When publishing 

 my catalague of the Jassoidea I quite unaccountably confused 

 this species with Tettigonia guttata Signoret which is a very 

 different insect as stated by Ball. For the present at least I 

 prefer to retain this form as a distinct species. Irrorata Fabr. 

 is smaller and darker. I have taken it in Ohio and have seen 

 others from the more southern states. 



270. Oncometopia undata Fabricius. 



Found commonly throughout Florida. At Ft. Myers and 

 Estero most of those taken were of the dark variety; farther
