All records indicate that this species is found on the flowers and leaves 
of the yellow water lily. Mr. Wenzel has kept this species under close 
observation almost daily from the beginning of May into September and 
has send me the following note: 
"Copulation takes place after the heat of the day. If Nymphaea is. 
in bloom almost every flower will contain males and females. There 
must be a continual supply of adults ; many dead specimens were observed 
throughout the summer and if death is natural the dead ones will be 
found adhering to the leaf near the stem. 
"The eggs are laid in the flowers, where they may be found in 
numbers." 
The shape of prothorax is very variable, the sides are often deeply 
sinuate or rather constricted at middle which is in some specimens rather 
faint and generally the sides are feebly converging behind. Florida 
specimens have the prothorax very wide in front and rather strongly 
converging to base, the sides feebly or not sinuate. These, however, 
occur with typical and intermediate specimens. The short, tooth- 
like apical prolongation of the middle tibiae and the normal first joint of
