58 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



Pseudariotus amicus Casey. — One specimen, April 6. Casey 

 described it from two specimens taken at Biscayne Bay, Fla., by 

 Hubbard and Schwarz. 



Vanonus sagax Casey. — A single example, April 6. Both 

 this and the preceding, as well as a number of other interest- 

 ing forms, as EmeUnus* ashmeadi, Zonantes schwarzi, Sandyles 

 ptinoides and Toxotropis floridanus, have been taken only by sweep- 

 ing ferns and other vegetation in Skinner's Hammock, a densely 

 wooded, wet tract of several hundred acres located one mile north- 

 east of Dunedin. Casey's types of V. sagax were from Indian 

 River, Fla. It is known also from Crescent City. 



Epicauta watsoni, sp. nov. — Elongate, subcylindrical. Black, 

 above uniformly and densely clothed wil^jli grayish-yellow pub- 

 escence; antennae black, legs piceous. Head with a narrow and 

 deep median groove, its sculpture concealed; eyes large, ra'ther 

 coarsely granulated, not emarginate; antennae with joints cylin- 

 drical, of equal thickness throughout, closely united, the second 

 one-third the length of third. Thorax distinctly wider than long, 

 sides straight, at apical third strongly obliquely convergent, hind 

 angles obtuse; disc apparently smooth, but with punctures so 

 minute as to be visible only under high power, and with a wide, 

 deep, entire median groove which expands near base and apex. 

 Elytra with sculpture concealed, their tips separately rounded. 

 Under surface finely granulate-punctate, the pubescence less 

 dense than that above. Length 9.5 mm. 



One specimen taken on Compositae near Gainesville, Sep- 

 tember 17, by Prof. J. R. Watson, the able entomologist of the 

 Florida Agricultural Experiment Station, in whose honour I have 

 given the name. Differs from all other known species of Section 

 A of Horn in the form and sculpture of thorax. Messrs. Schwarz 

 and Barber report that it is unlike anything in the National Museum 

 collection and entirely unknown to them. In a manuscript "List 

 of Coleoptera named for Mr. Chas. Johnson by John Hamilton 

 and said to have been taken in the vicinity of St. Augustine,
