not heretofore recorded from Florida. Leconte gives its rangeig as "Atlantic 

 region to Kansas." 



Odontaeus filicornis Say. A male of this uncommon Scarabid was 

 taken at porch light on March 15. Horn gives its range2o as "Middle and 

 Central States," but Schwarz records one specimen from Enterprise and, in 

 his Mss. notes, another from Tampa. 



Ecyrus exiguus Lee. One specimen beaten from oak, March 22. The 

 first record for Floiida, 'ts range being given by Leng and Hamilton2i as Ohio, 

 Georgia and Kansas. 



Mecas femoralis Hald. One specimen taken by sweeping, April 20. 

 Schwarz lists it as rare at Fort Capron and Crescent City. 



Tetraopes tetraophthalmus Foist. Two specimens taken on milkweed 

 July 15 and sent to me. This is another common northern species of wide 

 range which has not before been recorded from Florida, though known from 

 South Carolina, Louisiana and Mexico. 



Cryptocephaliis aulicus Hald. One specimen taken by sweeping vege- 

 tation along a sandy roadway. A rare species, resembling Cribiirliis larvatus 

 Newm. in colour and markings. Described from Georgia and known only

Phyllotreta liebecki Sch?effer. This is the species recorded by me23

 that it is closely allied to robust^ but in that species the "fifth antennal joint is 

 prolonged at apex, and the last ventral has a very deeply impressed median 

 line." 



Synchroa punctata Newm. A rare species in Florida. Schwarz lists 

 one specimen from Haulovcr and I took one, Feb. 27, and another, April 10, 

 from beneath the bark of a dead red bay tree, Persea borbonia L. 



Canifa pusilla Hald. One specimen July 15, at porch light. Described 

 from South Carolina, frequent in Indiana, but not before known from Florida. 



Tachygoniis minutus, sp. nov.

 smooth space at middle, a tuft of white hairs near each hind angle and a thinner
