Sev- enoaks, Fla., May ist, 1908 (;P.|VanDuzee); Florida (Uhler). Type (from Sevenoaks, Fla., May 1, 1908, male and fe- male)—No. 12187. U. S. National Museum. This neat Tingitid may be distinguished from Atlieas in- signis by the narrowness of body and somewhat smaller size; the cross-nervures of costal area are not blackish, as in the first species, and the areoles of the sutural area towards the apex are considerably smaller and of a more uniform size. This new species was found in the south-western part of Florida by my friend Mr. E. P. VanDuzee who kindly sent me his specimens for description with a manuscript name which I have adopted. Another specimen labeled Florida is from Prof. Uhler's collection. Atheas mimeticus n. sp. Body elongate - oval, depressed and black. Head slightly broader than long, the very acute antenniferous tubercles diverging a little. Anten- nae slender, the first two joints and the fourth thick- ened and black; third thin, nearly twice as long as the terminal, pale-yellowish with the basal one third blackish. Pronotum slightly convex, narrow- ing towards the front, very closely punctured, black; the membranous lateral margins straight, narrowly rounding at the shoulder, widening anteriorl}^; yel- lowish-white, uniseriate; the three carinae feebly raised, yellowish; triangular portion of the prono- ATHEAS MIMETICUS notum pale yellowish towards apex, with a few small areoles, tip obtusely rounded. Elytra elongate, widest at the middle, lateral margins almost evenly rounding towards apex, hyaline, yellowish-white; discoidal area long, ex- tending to beyond the middle of the elytra, with four to five rows of small areoles, yellowish, outer and inner longitudinal nervure fuscous or brownish; subcostal area narrow throughout with two rows of minute areoles; costal area nearl
