Rhipidandrus paradoxa (Beauv.) ISO.")? 

 fldbellicornis (Sturm.) 1826. 



About thirty specimens from the following localities: Can.; 

 Mich., Grand Ledge, Detroit; Kans.; Md.; D.C.; Ky., Louisville: 

 Ga., St. Catherine Island; Fla., Crescent City; La., Covington; 

 Tex., Columbus. 



No differences in extent of antennal flabellation that might 

 indicate sexes have been noticed in the set, although Blatchley 

 (1910) has alluded to such a difference. The figure and descrip- 

 tion of Melolontha paradoxa by Beauvois are so grossly different 

 from our specimens that it is hard to accept Salle's statement to 

 LeConte (1873). 



PRhipidandrus championi Sharp 1905. 



Two examples from dry fungus at Alhajuela, Canal Zone, Pan- 

 ama, in April, 1911, by August Busck, are much smaller, narrower, 

 and more cylindrical than the preceding, and are remarkable in 

 the clypeus being strongly tumid, highly polished, and of a light 

 reddish brown color, while the antenna? are much less strongly ra- 

 mose than in fldbellicornis and more strongly so than in Eutomus 

 (Cherostus). Length. 1.8 mm., width 0.74 mm. 



PRhipidandrus (Eutomus) sulcatus (Gorham) 1898. 



Three specimens from Cayamas, Cuba, and two from Santo 

 Domingo are similar to fldbellicornis but are more cylindrical, have 

 a relatively larger head with finer punctation. The antennae are 

 hardly different from fldbellicornis. 



PEutomus cornutus (Arrow) 1904. 



A large set (about fifty) from Montserratt, W.I. (H. G. Hubbard), 

 and a few from Santo Domingo appear specifically inseparable, and 

 are doubtfully referred to this. name. If jamaicensis (Arrow 1904) 

 proves to be but a small individual of this species its range would 

 appear to extend throughout the West Indies. 



PEutomus peninsularis (Horn) 1894. 



A set of about five hundred specimens was collected by the 

 writer at Brownsville, Texas, May 7, 1904, in a hard brown fun- 

 gus. 2 Horn's species came from Lower California and no typical 

 material has been seen. A single male from San Diego, Texas, 

 and three specimens (2 males and 1 female) from Tampico, Mexico, 



2 This fungus was determined for me as Ganoderma pseudoboletus but I 

 now believe the determination is incorrect.
