This species is somewhat larger and stouter in form and can be distinguished at once from the preceding by the broad subcostal area which is wider than the costal. Up to the present time it has been found only in the southern states. Corythuca floridana n. sp. Body rather short and broad, dark brown. The membranous lateral margins of the pronotum and elytra hyaline, iridescent, with pale yellowish nerv- ures; fully colored specimens have some of the nervures embrowned at apex, near the base of the elytra and near the front of the membranous lat- eral margins and there are a few brown specks at the hood. Head small, dark brown, lighter on the face, entirely covered by the pronotal hood except- ing the round black eyes; the narrow bucculse, the long stout beak and the feebly raised rostral laminae yellowish. Pronotum transverse, convex, narrower anteriorly, sparcely punctured, shining, brownish, FLORIDANA darker at front; the humeri very prominent; lateral margins rounding off anteriorly. Hood moderate- ly inflated, constricted at about the middle, posterior part globose; (viewed from the side) gradually tapering toward the tip and moderately raised above the adjoining median carina. The membranous lateral margins ear- shaped, comparatively large, obtusely rounded in front, posteriorly reflexed and broadly rounded; surface sunken before and behind the middle with medium sized areoles. The three foliaceous carinas yellowish-white, the outer abbreviated, much lower than the median which is highest at the middle, sloping abruptly towards the triangular portion of the pronotum; median carina with a few very large cells. Elytra nearly subquadrate, lateral margins straight, broadly rounded at base and apex; edged with short white spines which are tipped with black, Similar spi
