70 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



Charleston, S. Car., and occurs in botli bronzed and opatiue black forms. Tin' 

 description of Fabricius mentions the black form only. 



Metachroma terminale Horn. Frequent at both Cape Sable and Key 

 West on the foliage of shrubs in hammocks. The elytra vary much in colour, 

 being sometimes wholly dull yellow, again uniform pitchy black without the. 

 terminal pale spot on which the specific name was based. 



Metachroma testacea, sp. nov. 



Form short, robust. Head and thorax reddish-brown, remainder of body 

 a uniform testaceous. Head coarsely, shallowly and irregularly punctate. 

 Thorax semi-elliptical, much wider and with sides less declivent than in M. 

 pellucidum; sides and hind angles broadly rounded, disk finely, rather closely, 

 evenly and sharply punctate. Elytra one-third longer than wide; striae near 

 suture distinctly impressed, those on sides scarcely so, all with distinct rows of 

 round punctures separated by two-thirds their own diameter. Abdomen rather 

 finely and very sparsely punctate. Length 2.3—2.5 mm. 



A small species of the form and size of M. pellucidum Crotch, but much 

 duller in colour, with different form of thorax and with elytral striae all entire 

 and punctate throughout their length. It was taken in some numbers by beating 

 and sweeping at Key West, March 1—3. Specimens were submitted to Mr. 

 Fall, who states that he has it unnamed in his collection and considers it an 

 undescribed form. 



Trirhabda virgata Lee. One specimen taken at light at Dunedin, July 1 > 

 was sent to me by my son. No definite Florida record can be found. Horn 

 states that it "Occurs on the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts to Florida, 

 from which point to Texas it is replaced b}^ brevicollis." It is frequent through- 

 out Indiana. 



Galerucella bivittata, sp. nov. 



Elongate-oblong. Dull clay yellow; antennae and occiput entirely deep 

 black; labrum, mesosterna, sides of abdomen and tarsi piceous black; thorax 

 with a median stripe and a spot each side black; elytra each with a broad sub- 

 marginal and a narrow subsutural stripe, the tw^o broadly united at tip, deep 

 black. Thorax transversely elliptical, about one-half wider than long, angles 

 'all rounded, disk concave each side of the median line, very finely and sparsely 

 punctate, each puncture bearing a very short, fine, appressed hair. Elytra 

 elongate-oval, margins not explanate, disk densely and coarsely punctate, each 

 puncture bearing a silken yellowish semi-prostrate hair; middle coxae contiguous. 

 Under surface minutely punctate, very finely pubescent. Length 4.5 mm. 



Two specimens sAvept from huckleberry blossoms near Dunedin, March 2L 

 The wholly black antennae and occiput and bivittate elytra distinguish it from 

 all other described species. 



Longitarsus subcylindricus, sp. not-. 

 Elongate-oval or subcylindrical. Dull reddish-brown; basal half of an- 

 tennae, under surface and legs paler reddish-brown; apical half of antennae 

 fuscous. Head smooth, occiput strongly convex. .Second, third and fourth 

 joints of antennae subequal in length, two-thirds the length of fifth. Thorax 

 subcylindrical, scarcely longer than wide, disk convex, sides strongly declivent,
