Cryptocephalus nanus Fab. 

 One specimen by beating in a wet hammock, March 27. 

 LeConte records* it from Arkansas and Florida. No other Flori- 

 dian record is known to me. 



Cryptocephalus calidus Suff. 

 One specimen beneath chunk near pond. Not before recorded 

 definitely from Florida. 



Pachybrachys stygicus Fall. 

 Occurs frequently on huckleberry foliage and flowers in autumn 

 and spring. Fall's types were from a number of localities in 

 Florida and Alabama. 



Pachybrachys characteristicus Suff. 

 Fall also records this from several localities in Florida.** One 

 specimen was secured at Dunedin in a wet hammock.
