THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 29 



specimen was taken at Dunedin on March 25 while sweeping huckleberry and 

 other low vegetation. 



Soronia undulata Say.— A specimen was given me by Dr. E. W, Berger, 

 Entomologist of the Florida State Plant Board, who reared it from larvae sent 

 in to him as damaging the fruit of guavas at Bradentown. It has not before 

 been recorded from the State. Horn* gives its range as Middle States to Utah. 



Cryptarcha strigata F'ab. — An introduced European species not before 

 reported from Florida. Two specimens were taken, one at Dunedin, February 

 11, while beating, the other at La Belle, February 27, by sweeping. 



Trogosita hubbardi Leveille. — A submaritime species described from 

 Biscayne Bay, and since taken by Schwarz (Ms.) at Key West and Punta 

 Gorda, Fla., and Cayamas, Cuba. Two specimens were beaten from Florida 

 button-bush, on Hog Island, March 14. 



Elater manipularis Cand. — LeConte gives** the range of this species 

 as "Canada to Texas." I can find no record of its occurrence in Florida. Two 

 specimens were taken at Dunedin in December, and one at Lakeland, Feb. 22, 

 all by beating bunches of Spanish moss in which they were hibernating. 



Dicerca punctulata Schon. — One specimen beaten from pine at Dunedin, 

 Jan. 15. LeConte, in his Revision, gives its range as New York to Georgia. Not 

 mentioned in any of the Florida lists. 



Mastogenius subcyaneus Lee. — Several specimens of this small Buprestid 

 are taken at Dunedin each spring by sweeping ferns and beating in Skinner's 

 Hammock. I have also taken it at Eustis. Schwarz (Ms.) notes it from St. 

 Augustine. There is no previous published record for the State. 



Agrilus floridanus Cr. — A half dozen specimens of this handsome bronzed 

 species were swept from huckleberry and other low shrubs at Dunedin during 

 the latter part of March. It was described from northern Florida and is re- 

 corded elsewhere only from Tampa. 



Agrilus cupricollis Gory. — This species was described from St. Augustine 

 and has been taken by me at Ormond and Dunedin. At the latter place it 

 begins to appear about March 10 and occurs on huckleberry and other low 

 shrubs. 



Taphrocerus albonotatus sp. nov. — Elongate, slender, strongly tapering 

 behind. Black, shining, very sparsely and finely pubescent; the elytra with 

 eight isolated white pubescent spots, arranged in three cross rows, two each in 

 the first and third, and four in the second or middle row; the spots of the third 

 row crescent-shaped, the others rounded or oblong, the first row at middle, 

 the others equally spaced behind it. Head as broad as front of thorax, finely 

 alutaceous, not punctate, the occiput with a wide, shallow, median impression. 

 Thorax twice as wide as long, base slightly wider than apex, disk uneven, but 

 less so than in gracilis: surface minutely alutaceous and with large, shallow, 

 scattered ocellate punctures. Elytra at base slightly narrower than base of 

 thorax, sides broadly sinuate in front of middle, straight and strongly converging 

 from apical third to the obtusely rounded tips; disk with irregular rows of large 

 shallow punctures, these becoming obsolete towards apex. Abdomen with
