220 FLORIDA HEMIPTERA 



302. Deltocephalus inflatus Osborn & Ball. 



Crescent City, Sevenoaks and Estero. The specimens 

 taken seem to be somewhat intermediate between this species 

 and reflexus having the claval nervnres united in some examples 

 and in others the dark brown on the base of the front is 

 abruptly distinguished from the pale apex. 



303. Deltocephalus sp. 



Very abundant and almost universally distributed in Flo- 

 rida. It finds its home among the thin grasses growing on the 

 dry sands of the pine barrens which cover the whole length 

 and breadth of the state. 



304. Deltocephalus sp. 



Estero; two examples of a species that seems to be very 

 near imputans but I believe is distinct. 



305. Deltocephalus sp. 



Estero ; four examples. This species is near imputans but 

 probably is distinct. It may be the female of the preceding. 



306. Deltocephalus obtectus Osborn & Ball. 



Taken occasionally at nearly all places where I worked in 

 Florida and Mrs. Slosson has taken it at Belleair and Biscayne 

 Bay. Heretofore I have taken it about Buffalo and at Colum- 

 bus, Ohio. It is one of our prettiest and most clearly marked 

 species. 



307. Deltocephalus Weedi VanDuzee. 



Crescent City, Clearwater, Sevenoaks and Estero. Mrs. 

 Slosson has taken this species at Biscayne Bay and I found 

 numbers at Effingham, Ks. , in July 1900. 



308. Deltocephalus sonorus Ball. 



Estero and St. Petersburg; two examples. Mrs. Slosson 

 has found it at Biscayne Bay and Belleair. It is very close to 

 nigrifrons.
