THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 261 



Selenophorus ovalis Dei. My first specimen of this Carabid was found 

 running across the sidewalk near the Club House Annex on March 16. Two 

 others were taken at the same place on March 2S. It is usually regarded as 

 rare, is known only Irom Georgia and Florida, and resembles the more common 

 5. fossulatus Dej., but is smaller and with the rows of dorsal punctures much 

 less prominen.. 



Canthydrus addendus, sp. nov. 



Elongate-oval, glabrous, shining. Head and thorax reddish-brown; the 

 latter with front margin clouded with fuscous; elytra dark chocolate brown; 

 antennte, legs and under surface pale reddish-yellow. Head finely alutaceous, 

 impunctate, much broader and more convex than in C. gibhulus (Aube), the 

 interocular space nearly twice as wide as there; clypeus much more broadly 

 rounded; eyes larger, less convex, more coarsely facetted. Thorax with a few 

 very fine punctures on the sides and along the front margin. Elytra oval, very 

 convex at middle, the apical third strongly tapering; surface distinctly alutaceous, 

 more coarsely and much more sparsely punctate than in gibbiiliis. Prosternal 

 process behind the front coxae narrow, spatulate, both it and median plates 

 of meso- and metasterna very finely and sparsely punctate; hind margin of 

 median metasternal plate subtruncate, its outer apical angles produced. Last 

 ventral segment of both sexes compressed and subcarinate at middle. Length 

 3-3.2 mm. 



Described from 20 specimens taken April 1 from a mass of water weeds in 

 a shallow pond one mile northeast ol Dunedin. Allied to gibhulus but distinctly 

 larger and more convex. Besides the differences pointed out the median sternal 

 plates of gibhulus are very coarsely and densely punctate, and the hind margin 

 of the metasternal one is widely and deeply marginate. Cotypes of addendus 

 are in the American Museum of Natural History and the collection of H. C. 

 Fall. 



Hydrochus minimus Blatch.9 A second specimen of this m'inute and 

 very distinct species was taken March 24 from a submerged board in the same 

 pond as the preceding. 



Coccinella 9-notata Hbst. Although this well-known species or its 

 varieties are said to range over the entire United States, I can find no previous 

 record of its occurrence in Florida. In a collection of beetles, mostly taken at 

 porch light in July and sent to me from Dunedin, I found a single specimen. 



Aulonium parallelopipedum Say. One specimen March 15 from be- 

 neath bark of dead water oak. Not before recorded from Florida but mentioned 

 in the Schwarz MS. list lo from Tallahassee and Crescent City. 



Botrodus estriatus Casey. One specimen, Feb. 11. Beaten from dead 

 limb of red bay at Skinner's hammock. Described from Texas. n No pub- 

 lished record from Florida, but Schwarz (Ms.) has taken it at Crescent City. 



Conotelus punctatus Schaeffer. This Nitiduiid was describedi2 from 

 Lake Worth, Fla. I have ta^Kcn it at Little River, Utopia and Dunedin by 

 sweeping vegetation in low grounds. The elytra are brown with fine but dis- 

 tinct elongate punctures in evident rows-
