sides straight and parallel. (Fig. 1.) The eye area is wider than 

 long, the front row of eyes covers the whole width of the head, and 

 the small, middle eyes are nearer the upper pair than the front row. 

 The leg of the first pair is not much thicker than the others in 

 either sex, and the tibia has on the under side three pairs of long 

 spines. The mandibles have no teeth under the claw. The 

 male palpi have the tibia as long as wide, with a long process ex- 

 tending half the length of the tarsus and having a sharp tooth in 

 the middle of the upper edge. (Fig. 23, 3.) The palpal organ is oval 

 and thick, extending back at the base over part of the tibia. (Fig. 23, 

 Sand 4.) The tube is at the tip and is short and curved in a half 

 circle. (Fig. 23, 4.) The epigynum hastwo small, semi-circular 

 openings behind which the round spermathecae show through the 

 skin. (Fig. 23, 2.)

Elytroleptus floridanus Lee. 

 One example of this rare form was beaten from oak on March 

 23. It was described from Florida in 1862, and Schwarz records 

 the taking of a single specimen at Haulover. 



Plectomerus dentipes Olivier. 

 Three examples of this small and well-marked Longicorn have 

 been taken by beating oak in November and December. 



Zagymnus clerinus Lee. 

 Schwarz records this species as very rare in the stems of dry 

 palmetto leaves. Five specimens have been taken at Dunedin, 

 three on pine lumber in October and December, the others at 

 electric porch light in June. Two of the five are wholly black, one 

 of them being 19 mm. in length. The others are typical in hue, the 

 head and thorax red and the elytra maculate, the length 13-15 mm.
