THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 239 



Arhipis lanieri Guer. 

 A single dead specimen of this rare Elaterid was taken in a 

 fungus beneath the bark of a dead water-oak on December ,1st. Its 

 first and probably the only other record from the United States was 

 by Schwarz*, who found a large colony of the adults in the branch 

 of an undetermined tree at Cocoanut Grove, Florida. He has also 

 beaten it from branches at Cayamas, Cuba. 



Chrysobothris chrysoela 111. 

 This very handsome little Buprestid is mentioned by Schwarz 

 as being "very rare" at Haulover, Enterprise and Lake Ashby, 

 Fla. A half dozen or more specimens have been taken near 

 Dunedin by beating the wax myrtle, Myrica cerifera L., in November 

 and March. It has also been taken by me at Ft. Myers, Sanibel 

 Island and Lake Istokpoga, and is probably more widely distributed 

 than the records would indicate. 



Melanophila notata Lap. & Gor. 



Single examples of this rather rare species were taken at 

 Dunedin and Ormond on June 5 and April 6, on the former date 

 at light. It is recorded from Georgia and Florida, and a speci- 

 men was taken in an Indianapolis street car on June 22 — perhaps 

 an involuntary import by some passenger. 



Hypotrichia spissipes Lee. 



A single example at porch light on June 5. This species was 

 described from Florida by LeConte in 1862,** but I can find no 

 further mention of it in any Florida list, Schwarz giving only the 

 name as recorded from Florida, but the species not collected by him. 



Polyphylla gracilis Horn. 



Three specimens have been beaten from young pine trees near 

 Dunedin, between March 27 and April 10. It was described from 

 " near Jacksonville, Fla." 



Chlorophorus annularis Fab. 



A single example of this East Indian species, known hitherto 



from India, Java, Borneo and Sumatra, was taken at porch light 



at my residence in Dunedin by my son on June 10, 1915. It was 



determined for me by A. J. Mutchler of the American Museum of 



Natural Histor\% and was shown by him at the meeting of the New 



York Entomological Society on November 21, 1916.
