coloba uvifera L.). One had previously been taken at Eustis. These are the 

 onI\- two records for Florida, the species ha\ing been described from Texas. 



Chalcodermus inaequicollis Horn.— This species was found hibernating 

 in the axils of a tall thistle growing on Hog Island. A dozen .or more specimens 

 were there taken while searching for Paragraphus setosits. It is known also 

 from Capron and Buck Ke\', Fla., and from Georgia and Arkansas. 



Tyloderma maculata Blatch. — A single example of this prettily marked 

 weevil was taken March 3 by beating at Moore Haven, and another on Hog 

 Island, March 26, while sweeping Batis. It was described from a unique taken 

 at Little River, Fla. 



Tyloderma laevicollis, sp. nov. — Elongate-oval; smaller, more slender, 

 with sides more parallel than any other of the brown forms. Dark reddish 

 brown; the head, thorax and legs strongly shining. Head and beak rather 

 finely, not densely punctate, without frontal fovea, the punctures isolated, not 

 confluent or reticulated as in variegata; beak stout, about as long as head, cari- 

 nate above. Thorax longer than wide, strongly produced over the head, 

 sides feebly rounded; disk very minutely and sparsely punctate, each puncture 

 bearing a minute prostrate white hair; flanks behind the ocular lobe strongly 

 concave and coarsely punctate. Elytra one-third wider than thorax, sides 

 parallel from humeri to apical third, then converging to the obtuse apex; striae 

 'shallow and sparsely punctate on basal half, much deeper and without punctures 

 toward apex; intervals feebly convex; disk with scattered small patches of white 

 hairs, which tend to form very narrow, broken cross-bars. Last ventral coarsely 

 punctate, abdomen otherwise almost smooth; sterna coarsely and sparsely 

 punctate. Length 3 mm. 



Two specimens taken March 4 by beating at the point where the Palm 

 Beach Canal leaves the east shore of Lake Okeechobee. The elongate slender 

 form, almost smooth thorax and deep, subapical striae of elytra readily separate 

 this from any known species. 



Cryptorhynchus apiculatus Gyll. — This species is not so scarce as is 

 commonly supposed. A half dozen or more have been taken at Dunedin in 

 February and March, and one at Okeechobee City, March 6. It occurs on dead 

 branches in wet hammocks. 



Cryptorhynchus schwarzi Blatch. — A single example of this elongate, 

 dull coloured form was taken near Moore Haven, March L The type was from 

 the north end of Lake Okeechobee and the only other known specimens are from 

 Biscayne Bay, so, as far as known, it is confined to southern Florida. 



Caulophilus latinasus Say. — Hibernates in bunches of Spanish moss, 

 numerous specimens ha\ing been taken at Lakeland, Feb. 2L 



Pentarthrinus atrolucens Casey. — One specimen taken by beating dead 

 branches in Skinner's Hammock, Dec. 20. Recorded before only from Enter- 

 prise and Bisca\ne Ba\', Fla. 



Calandra linearis Hbst.- — A West India species known as the tamarind 

 weevil. A single specimen was beaten from oak in open sandy woods near 

 Lakeland, Feb. 22. Not before definitely recorded from Florida.
