the suture not abbreviated, but very little narrower at apex than in 
front and including two regular strise of moderately coarse punctures; the 
second and third abbreviated at base and apex, the former limited each side 
by a regular stria of punctures and including two short irregular stris be- 
hind the middle with a few punctures in front; the outer vitta is margined 
interiorly with a stria of punctures and includes two long almost regular 
strise ; the outer marginal stria is broadly interrupted at middle ; the yellow 
parts are impunctate with the exception of a humeral line of very fine 
punctures. Underside, including the epipleur®, brown with scattered 
moderately fine punctures; legs very coarsely punctured, claw joint not 
dentate, claws stout, distant. Length 6-7.25 mm.; .24-.29 inch. 
Ft. Capron and Lake Harney, two specimens; also found رر‎ | 
at Tampa; lives on the Button Bush. Belongs to Calli- ' 
grapha Er. and is to be placed near C. similis, from which 
it differs by its more elongate form, by the straight side 
margin and less punetured disc of the thorax, by the regular 
vitte and sculpture of the elytra and by the coarsely punc- 
tured legs. | 
25. Systena pallipes, n. sp.—-Elongate-elliptical, convex, shining, 
black; head and thorax often reddish-brown, base of antennas and legs pale 
testaceous. Head carinate in front, impressed median line fine, smooth 
anteriorly ; sculpture of posterior part variable, either finely, remotely 
punctulate or more coarsely punctate with indistinct transverse ruge. An- 
tennee pale, the last four or five joints black, second joint slender, twice as 
long as wide. Thorax as in £. frontalis, but much more convex trans- 
versely, sculpture variable, either shining, finely, sparsely punctate, or less 
shining, alutaceous, with the punctures coarser and less sparse. Scutellum 
smooth, shining. Elytra elongate, very little broader at base than the 
thorax, humeri rounded, shining, evidently not densely punctate, with 
traces of an impressed sutural line. Length 3-4 mm.; .12-.16 inch. 
Many specimens from different parts of Florida, abundant 
on the swampy meadows in May and June. More elongate, 
narrower and more convex than S. frontalis, with the elytra 
narrower at base, and easily distinguished by its pale legs. 
26. Epitrix brevis, n. sp. —Short-ovate, black, shining, antenne, 
mouth and legs red, posterior femora infuscate. Head impunctate ; thorax 
shining, more finely punctulate than in Æ. cucumeris, basal impression very 
feeble. Elytra with the stri? on the disc hardly impressed, punctures finer 
than in E. cucumerts, interstices on the disc flat, at the sides narrower and 
convex. Length 1-1.95 mm. ; .04-.05 inch. 
Ft. Capron and Enterprise, seven specimens; occurs also 
in Ohio. Allied to E. cucumeris, and of the same color and
