224 FLORIDA HEMIPTERA 



Head and scutellum clear light yellow. Eyes black. Elytra piceous- 

 black in the male; fusco-hyaline in the female; saddle light yellow, rather 

 small; costa broadly hyaline as far as che apical areoles. Prosternum with a 

 black spot beneath the anterior coxae; vertex marked with a black vitta on 

 either side; tergum with about four transverse black vittae. 



Described from one pair taken at Sevenoaks and a female 

 from Estero. This is a typical Eutettix and quite distinct by 

 its uniformly yellow head pronotum and scutellum. The fe- 

 male from Estero is pale, evidently not having attained its full 

 coloring. In two examples the humeral angles are marked 

 with a black vitta and in both females the hind margin of the 

 last ventral segment is much more produced at the middle than 

 in our other allied species. These three specimens were beaten 

 from oak bushes. 



320. Eutettix sp. 



At Sevenoaks I took one example of a species that is still 

 undescribed. It seems to be most nearly related to cincta 

 O. & B. 



321. Phlepsius excultus Uhler. 



Crescent City, Sanford, Sevenoaks and Ft. Myers. Taken 

 occasionally while beating bushes over an umbrella. 



322. Phlepsius decorus Osborn & Ball. 



Tampa; one example. I have taken this species at Ham- 

 burg and Gowanda, N. Y., Mr. Metcalfe at Brockville, Ont., 

 and Mr. Coleman has collected it in Santa Clara Co., Califor- 

 nia. This extends its range over a great part of the United 

 States and Canada. 



323. Phlepsius mimus Baker. 



At Crescent City I took one example that agrees very 

 closely with Baker's description and I think there can be no 

 doubt but it is the female of his species, which was described 

 from a male collected by Dr. Uhler at Odenton, Md. In this 

 female the three pairs of brown spots along the commissure are 

 quite conspicuous and the margin of the scutellum is alternated 

 with black and white. The form of the last ventral segment is 

 distinctive, the hind edge being quite deeply sinuated either 

 side of a deep triangular median notch the margin of which is
