142 . THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



'-very finely and sparsely punctate. Elytra one-fourth wider at base 

 than thorax, rather convex, umbone obsolete, sides parallel from 

 just behind humeri two-thirds or more to apex, thence gradually 

 converging to tips; disc finely and sparsely punctate, the punctures 

 .a little coarser than those of thorax. Wings absent. Length 1.7 

 "2 mm. 



Described from seven specimens swept from herbage at Kissim- 

 mee Dunedin, Eustis and Sanford. February 16-April 7. Ac- 

 cording to Schwarz it is "very common in Florida on Mayweed or 

 dog-fennel" (Anthemis cotula L.), whence the specific name. 



Allied to testaceus Melsh, but body distinctly smaller, riiore 

 slender and more parallel; inner wings and umbones absent and 

 elytra much more finely and indistinctly punctate. 



7031. Phyllotreta robusta Lee. — Taken in large numbers at 

 Sanford by sweeping herbage along borders of cypress swamps. 

 Described from Garland, Colorado, and recorded elsewhere only 

 from Lake County, Indiana. 



10,467. Psyllobora elegans Horn. — Three specimens taken by 

 sweeping — one at Sanford, two at Ormond. April 3-14. 



7075. Chalepus scapularis Oliv. — Three examples of this 

 species and about a dozen of the more handsome C. bicolor Oliv., 

 were taken by sweeping low herbage along the border of a cypress 

 swamp at Sanford. April 5-9. 



7095. Porphyraspis cyanea Say. — Mention is made of this 

 rather common species to record the taking of several black speci- 

 mens along the Kissimmee River. It occurs only on the leaves of 

 the Saw palmetto, Serenoa serrulata Hook, which is probably the 

 most common shrub in Florida 



7400. Merinus laevis Oliv. — A single specimen of this arge 

 Tenebrionid was taken from beneath pine bark near Ormond on 

 March 24. Horn, in his "Tenebrionidse of America," records it 

 from the "Eastern and Middle States and more rarely in Canada." 

 It is uncommon in Indiana, and I can find no previous record 

 of its occurrence in Florida. 



7408. Glyptotus cribratus Lee. — Four specimens were beaten 

 from large bunches of Spanish moss near Dunedin. March 18 — 27
