222 FLORIDA HEMIPTERA 



Described from one male and two female examples taken 

 at Ft. Myers and Estero. 



At Sevenoaks I took what appears to be a color variety of 

 this species. It is entirely pale straw yellow with the anterior 

 margin of the vertex unevenly black; the pale color on the base 

 being extended forward in the middle to the two pale points 

 and almo-t uniting before with a pale spot close to the apex. 

 The anterior angles of the pronotum behind the eyes are black 

 as they are in the black form above described, and the genital 

 segment of the male and the disk of the sixth ventral segment 

 are black. The front, pleural pieces and legs are mostly brown, 

 the former showing pale arcs and a median line, and the latter 

 are varied with pale on the tibiae. 



Tribe Athysanini. 



314. Athysanus exitiosus Uhler. 



Common everywhere in Florida. Those taken vary much 

 in size and coloring, the palest being from Estero. 



315. Athysanus bicolor VanDuzee. 



Crescent City, St. Petersburg and Tampa; not common. 



316. Athysanus obtutus VanDuzee. 



Crescent City; moderately abundant about waste places. 



317. Eutettix Slossoni VanDuzee. 



Sanford, St. Petersburg, Sevenoaks and Ft. Myers. Three 

 males and three females were taken which agree very closely 

 with my description of the type, a pale female. The females 

 in the present lot want the black points on the face; the band 

 on the base of the pronotum is black or dark piceous, and in 

 one example the elytra are deepened to a rich brown, fading to 

 hyaline at the costa. The males are piceous-black above with 

 the vertex, pronotum anteriorly and scutellum clear yellow; 

 costa broadly whitish-hyaline tinged with brown basally and 

 with the apex abruptly deep fuscous. In two the black band 

 at the base of the front is entire.
