54 ENTOMOLOGICAL NF.WS. [April, 



Motwcrcpidins f>cninsularis. Compared by Candcxc with res- 

 pcrtiniis, and from the series in my cabinet, certainly a variety 

 of it. Florida. 



lletcrodcrcs lantus. The species of I [ftcrodcrcs were included 

 by LeConte in Monocrepidius. From the description lantus is 

 al>out the size of r/'sfio'tin/i.t, and of the color of simfidns. It is 

 of the type (fide Cdz) of certain Fast Indian species, and I sus- 

 pect requires further confirmation as a member of our fauna. 

 Florida. 



Dr. Candeze, in passing, speaks of the revision of I >ra>terius 

 by LeConte in 1884 (posthumous), and says that the union ot 

 several under the name elegans seems " rigoreu-e." It is pn>b- 

 able that sufficient cause determined such action on LeConte s 

 part. 



Mi-Ianotus peninsularis. This is the species determined by 

 LeConte as dandestinus Er. and distributed as such in all our col- 

 lections. Florida. 



Corytnbites trunculentus. Black, thorax with ferruginous side 

 margin; elytra ferruginous brown. Allied to vo/itans and sa^it- 

 ticollis. Long. 14 mm. California. 



Corvmbitcs iirostigtna. Brown, elytra with apical testaceous 

 spot; third joint of antennae long. Long. 13 mm. California. 



Corymbitcs gracilis. yEneo-piceous, third joint of antennae 

 shorter than the fourth. This is, without doubt, C. monticola 

 Horn, from the same region. X. California and < )regon. 



C. floridanus. Closely allied to diraricatns* and (littering in 

 having the hind angles shorter and not divaricate. My examina- 

 tion of a specimen sent me led me to believe it merely a variety 

 of that species. Long. 9 mm. Florida. 



Asafihes Lccontci. This is a species which has long been in 

 our cabinets unnamed, as I have never been able to xati-.lv my- 

 self as to the proper genus. It is of piceous color, elytra yellow- 

 ish te.xtaceoux, the suture and border darker. 



Scricn* lu'hrcnsi. This is Scricoxonius int'oti^rnits Lee., which 

 Cande/e seems to ha\-e lo.xt sight of. The nanu- is in hix index 

 as Alrat'li>f>lcrus incon^ruHs, but no mention ot it occurs in the 

 volume. 



In addition to the above I de^in- t<> make known two interesting
