to the fact that at the juncture of the segments the scales are some- 

 what raised, and the refraction of light gives them a whitish appear- 

 ance where such refraction occurs. 



Distribution. — This species is now known to occur in the Bahama 

 Islands and the southeastern United States. The series shows the 

 range of the species to extend from east-central North Carolina to 

 the northern Florida Keys and New Providence Island, Bahamas. 



Biological Notes. — This species was not always recognized in the 

 field as different from antillarum, although on one or two occasions 

 the notes refer to it as a different species. From our notes we are 

 therefore only able to state that the species occurs often in the same 

 general region with antillarum, but it is probable that it seeks rather 

 heavier growth than that species, as the fallowing field note 

 would suggest. "The Jungle Liphoplus* 3 has scales only oh under 

 side and around segments of abdomen giving it a ringed appearance 

 and a strikingly red and black color when compared with Liphoplus 

 krugii, which species is covered with sparse silvery scales, pronotum 

 and all."

33 To distinguish it from C. antillarum which was then called Liphoplus krugii. 



34 These specimens were recorded as Liphoplus krugii by the authors, these 

 Proceedings, 1907, p. 316. At that time so few specimens of the group from 

 North America had been taken, and genera were so confused, that it was almost 

 impossible to determine with accuracy any of the species. The authors' notes 

 in that paper on Liphoplus, Cycloptilum and Ectaloderus are wholly erroneous.
