66 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Beaten from foliage of the wax-myrtle or bayterry (Myrica 

 cerijera L.), Dunedin, January 18; Lake Istokpoga, February 25; 

 Ormond, April 13. 



I have followed Leng in making this a variety of 20-maculata 

 Say, though it is my opinion that in time all the more southern 

 non-alutaceous and finely punctate forms will be recognized as 

 distinct from that common northern species, though closely related 

 among themselves. 



3086. — Axion tripustulatum DeG. Quite common on oak 

 and myrtle near Dunedin; also at Bassenger, Arch Creek and other 

 places. January 24 — March 30. 



9906. — Novius cardinalis Muls. Five examples of this intro- 

 duced species were beaten from wild grape along the borders of a 

 large orange grove near Dunedin, January 20. 



Aditoma bifida Casey. This peculiar Colydiid was taken 

 in small numbers both at Sanford and near Oneca, January 13 — 

 February 10. It occurs beneath the bark of dead pine in open woods. 

 Trogoderma fascifera, sp. nov. 



Oblong-oval, robust. Black, feebly shining; elytra with a 

 common broad dark red antemedian band, the hind edge of which 

 is concave on each elytron, and the front one more broadly and 

 obliquely so; tibiae, tarsi and basal joints of antennae reddish-brown. 

 Eyes entire, rather small, widely separated. Antennae of male 

 serrate from the fourth joint. Head finely and densely reticulate- 

 punctate. Thorax nearly twice as wide as long, as wide at base as 

 elytra, sides feebly rounded into apex; disc with middle third finely 

 and sparsely punctate, its sides punctate like the head. Elytra 

 sparsely and finely punctate, each puncture bearing a short, pros- 

 trate grayish hair. Pro- and meso-sterna with large shallow vario- 

 late punctures; abdomen finely and rather densely articulate-punc- 

 tate. Length 4.5 mm.; width 3 mm. 



Described from a single male taken February 25 by sifting on 

 the west shore of Lake Istokpoga. Readily known by its large size 

 and the reddish cross-band of elytra which reaches from the middle 

 more than half way to base, and sends a spur along each side of 

 suture nearly to the scutellum. The prosternal process is feebly 

 concave and finely carinate for its entire length, and the antennal 

 fossae are wider and more shallow than in our other species.
