Liopus floridanus Ham. 'I'wo spcciincus of this small, dull-colourccl 

 Lamiinid were swept from ferns in a dense hammock near Dunedin, March 

 10— March 24. Described^^ from Biscayne Bay and not recorded elsewhere. 



Lepturges signatus Lee. A single specimen taken at. light at Dunedin, 

 June lo. Sclnvarz records it from Enterprise as "rare." 



Spalacopsis filum Che\-. This was a common species on dead twigs in 

 the hammocks at Cape Sable and Key West. When stretched out on a twig 

 with their long antcnncr at full length in front of them, their gray colour is so 

 similar to that of the bark that they are almost invisible. Although three 

 or four species of this genus have been described or listed from southern 

 I'lorida, it is very doubtful if more than the one above named really exists in 

 that region. 



Exema neglecta, sp. nov. 



(Iblong, robust. Black, opaque; antenna^, palpi, front and middle legs in 

 great part, and some spots on head, dull clay yellow; face and front half of thorax 

 of male wholly of the same hue. Head finely, not closely ocellate-punctate. 

 Thorax finely and irregularh- punctate, the middle of disk strongly elevated, 

 tuberculate and with a shallow median sulcus, the sides and posterior declivity 

 of the elevation strigose-punctate. Tegmina oblong, each with a subsutural 

 row of three or four blunt tubercles and several other scattered ones, the in- 

 tervals between them coarsely, more or less confluently punctate. Pygidium 

 with a narrow, entire median carina between two shorter, broader ones, the 

 intervals coarsely punctate. Hind femora and under surface coarsely punctate. 

 Length male 2.7; female 3 mm. 



Common throughout Florida on huckleberry and other low shrubs through- 

 out the winter months. This is the species known in most cabinets as Exema 

 conspersa Mann., and has been distributed by me under that name On taking 

 the true conspersa, which is very scarce in Florida, I sent specimens of both to 

 the U.S. National Museum, and H. S. Barber replied that the larger one above 

 described was in the museum collection under the name conspersa var., some 

 specim.ens also having been labeled E. lUspar Lee. On a recent visit to Cam- 

 bridge, I found that the smaller form was the one there recognized as E. conspersa, 

 and as the larger and more common one appears to ha\e no name, 1 have given 

 it that of neglecta. , 



Exema conspersa Mannerheim. This is a much smaller (1.8-2 mm.), 

 more subquadrate species than ne'^lecla and usually has l)olh thorax and elytra 

 distinctly maculate with brownish-yellow, '['he thorax is without strigie, its 

 punctures more numerous, much deeper. The elytra are more rugose with 

 crests ot tubercles longer, more narrow, and the punctures much smaller. A 

 single specimen is in the National Museum fiom Enterprise, Fla. About 

 Dunedin I ha\-e taken it on se\eral occasions by sweeping weeds about the 

 margins of low. moist, cultix-aled tracts. It ranges from I'Morida to California 

 and Mexico. 



As pointed out to me l)y Mr. Barber (Ms.) my Chhnnys nodidosa^- is 

 probably a synonym of Exema 'fibber Fabr. It was originally described from 



11. Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, XXIII, 189G, 125. 



12. Can. Ent., XLV, 1913, 22.
