antennae are more clearly bicolorous apically. Praescutal stripes 

 orange instead of dark brown, the median pair narrow, widely, 

 divided by the ground-colour. Wings strongly tinged with yellow 

 before the cord, the costal cells yellow instead of brown. Abdo- 

 men more yellowish, especially laterally. Male hypopygium with 

 the median area of the eighth sternite with two broadly triangular 

 teeth, the notch between them V-shaped or narrowly U-shaped. 

 The female is similar to the male but somewhat smaller.

 seen paratypes of inermis, and they both refer to the smaller dark- 

 coloured species of this group. It is possible that still other species 

 remain to be separated from this complex. 



SOME NEW OR SCARCE COLEOPTERA FROM 

 WESTERN AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA. 



BY W. S. BLATCHLEY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA. 



Between December 1, 1917, and April 1, 1918, the writer was 

 in Florida and collected Coleoptera and Orthoptera for much of 

 the time. The most of the collecting was done about Dunedin,* 

 a town in Pinellas County on the west coast, but in late February 

 and early March a trip was taken to the Lake Okeechobee region, 

 during which several days' collecting was done at each of the fol- 

 lowing places: Lakeland, Ft. Myers, LaBelle, Moore Haven** 

 and Okeechobee City. One day was also spent on the east shore 

 of Lake Okeechobee at the point where the Palm Beach Canal 

 leaves the lake. The species of Coleoptera herein noted, on ac- 

 count of their apparent scarcity in the State, or which are regarded 

 as undescribed forms, were for the most part taken during the 

 winter at some one or more of the places above mentioned.

**This is a new town on the west side of Lake Okeechobee, at the point 

 where the Caloosahatchie River formerly emerged from the lake. A large area 

 of the old lake area southeast of the town has been drained and is now under 

 cultivation.
