Lachnosterna boops Horn.— Frequent at porch light in June 

 and July. Described from Northern Georgia; known also from 

 Tampa, Crescent City and Indian River (Schwarz Mss.). 



Ecyrus dasycerus Say. — A single specimen taken by beating 

 dead vines in a wet hammock. 



Ataxia crypta Say. — Two specimens in December by beating 

 oak, one April 26, at porch light. Recorded by Schwarz as rare 

 at Ft. Capron. Known also from St. Augustine, Crescent City 

 and Key West. 



Monocesta coryli Say. — Two specimens of this large Chry- 

 somelid were recently sent me by Dr. E. W. Berger of Gainesville. 

 They were taken at Palmetto, Fla., on Jul}' 3, where they were 

 found feeding on elm. Horn* states that the beetle occurs in 

 Virginia, Illinois and Kansas. It is also recorded from Missouri, 

 but no reference to its occurrence south of that state can be found. 



Disonycha mellicollis Say. — This species, known from 

 Indiana to Louisiana and Texas, has been found about Dunedin 

 only beneath boards near the edge of high tide along the beach of 

 Clearwater Bay, where it occurs in small numbers throughout the 

 winter. Known also from Ft. Capron. 



Epitrix fasciata sp. nov. — Oval, moderately convex. Head 

 and thorax dull reddish brown; elytra dull yellow with a broad 

 median blackish cross-bar, this interrupted on the second and third 

 intervals, thus forming an oblong sutural spot which is slightly 

 prolonged forwards, and a large spot on each elytron; antennae, 

 legs and prosternum dull yellow, ab^iomen piceous. Head very 

 minutely and sparsely punctate. Thorax two-thirds wider than 

 long, sides feebly curved, front angles obliquely truncate, hind ones 

 rounded; disc rather coarsely, deeply and closely, not densely, 

 punctate, the ante-basal impression deep. Elytra at base but 

 slightly wider than thorax, widest at middle, sides broadly rounded, 

 umbone small, oblong; striae with rows of large, rounded punctures 

 separated by one-half their own diameters; intervals narrow, con-
