Pamera vincta, Say, Heteropt. New Harmony, p. 16, no. 3. This common species is widely distributed throughout the littoral region of the United States south of Pennsylvania. Pamera parvula, Dallas, is a synonym of this form, which should be replaced by the name given above. It has a wide distribution, spreading from Central Brazil through the regions of Colombia, Central America, Mexico, and the Antilles into the United States. In Grenada it appears to be as common as in Cuba and San Domingo. Specimens were taken at Balthazar, 1900 feet above the sea, April 2, in open grassy places, upon herbage. It was also found in August on the Mount Gay estate, and in other localities on the island. 2. PAMERA BILOBATA, Say. Pamera bilobata, Say, Heteropt. New Harmony, p. 17, no. 7.
