foliage along the borders of marshes and hammocks. Ranges 

 from New England to Michigan and Iowa, south to Florida and 

 Guatemala. 



648 ( ). GELUS FLORIDANUS Fall, 1905, 61. 



"Dark brownish castaneous, rather obscurely mottled with white and 

 fulvous scales, which are of broader form than in oculatus. Eyes still 

 more narrowly separated than in oculatus. Blytral striae wider, the punc- 

 tures larger, leaving the intervals narrower, more convex and more irregu- 

 lar. Otherwise nearly as in oculatus. Length 5.5 mm.; width 2.2 mm." 

 (Fall.) 



Key Largo and Elliott's Key, Florida. 



649 (8810). GELUS SUBFASCIATUS Lee., 1876, 260. 



Rather stout, ovate. Black, above thinly and irregularly clothed with 

 fine white hair-like scales, which form three broad stripes on thorax and 

 three transverse bands on elytra, one basal, surrounding a humeral dark 

 spot, one just behind the middle, the other near apex, the sutural white 

 spot therefore not very conspicuous; beneath thinly clothed with gray 

 scales; antennas brownish-yellow; hind femora with an indistinct dark 

 band. Beak brown, outer half nearly smooth, base punctured and striate. 

 Thorax gradually narrowed from base, very coarsely and densely punctured. 

 Elytra at base one-third wider than thorax, humeri more rounded and less 

 prominent than in oculatus; striae wide, deep, punctured. Length 1.7 mm. 



Described from New York without definite locality. Recorded 

 elsewhere only from Allegheny, Pa., by Hamilton. 



II. CYLINDROCOPTURUS Heller, 1895. (cylindrical -j- Copturus.) 



Small robust species, having the elytra only slightly wider than 

 thorax, the form therefore appearing more subcylindrical and less 

 rhomboidal than in Gelus; eyes a little more widely separated; 

 club of antenna? proportionately shorter and stouter, its basal 

 joint shorter than the other two combined ; beak rather long and 

 slender; antennae inserted about its middle, the second joint of 

 funicle longer than third ; femora not toothed ; abdomen with 

 the third, fourth and fifth ventrals subequal in length and 

 strongly ascending. Six species and one variety of the genus 

 are known from east of the Mississippi. They were treated under 

 the generic name Copturus Schon. by LeConte in the Rhyncho- 

 [ii.ora of North America, and so listed by Henshaw. Casey in 

 1897 proposed for them and 12 other forms the genus Copturodes, 

 characterizing it only by stating that it "differed from Gopturns 

 in its less rhombiform body, less unequal first and second funi- 

 cular joints and completely unarmed femora," and overlooking
