Louisiana, and there is, therefore, no reason why it should not 

 occur in Florida. 



Loxandrus flavilimbus, sp. nov.— Elongate-oval. Above 

 dark reddish or chestnut brown, strongly shining, the side margins 

 and hind angles of thorax, and the basal three-fourths of side 

 margins of elytra dull red; mouth-parts, legs and under surface 

 pale reddish brown; apical two-thirds of antennae fuscous. Head 

 as broad as long; eyes large, feebly convex. Thorax subquadrate, 

 disk smooth, sides broadly but evidently curved, front angles 

 obtuse, hind ones broadly rounded into base; median line very 

 faint, basal impressions shallow, shorter than usual. Elytra as 

 wide at base as thorax, slightly more than twice as long; humeri 

 feebly curved, sides behind them almost straight for three-fourths 

 their length, then rounded and sinuate to apex; striae shallow, their 

 punctures rather coarse, close-set, faint or subobsolete on apical 

 third; intervals smooth, very feebly convex. Length 10 mm. 



Beneath board near border of pond north of Dunedin; Jan. 1, 

 rare. Loding (Ms.) says he has an unnamed specimen which he 

 considers identical. The size, pale legs, pale margin of thorax 

 and elytra and coarsely punctured striae preclude it from being 

 any of the species treated in LeConte's tables. Two or three other 

 species or forms of Loxandrus are at hand which cannot be placed 

 by his tables. The genus, as represented in Florida, is one of the 

 largest of the Carabidse, but is badly in need of revision. 



Lebia abdominalis Chaud.^ — This is recorded only from 

 Enterprise and the Biscay ne Bay region. A half dozen were found 

 beneath the debris on the shore of Lake Okeechobee, near Moore 

 Haven, and one was beaten from oak at Lakeland. 



Lebia furcata Lee. — A single specimen, the first I have taken 

 in Florida, was beaten Dec. 17 from the dead leaves of a cabbage 

 palmetto near Dunedin. It is listed as rare at Tampa, Crescent 

 City and Gainesville. 



Plochionus amandus Newm. — A male, typically coloured, 

 as described by Horn,* was beaten from a mass of Spanish moss on 

 the margin of Skinner's Hammock, north of Dunedin, Feb. 11. 

 From the descriptions I judge that amandus is only a colour form
