6890. Diabrotica vincta Lee. — Two examples beaten from a 

 tall ragweed (Ambrosia sp.?) near the mouth of Taylor's Creek on 

 Lake Okeechobee, March 3. 



6932c. (Edionychus concinne Fab. — A half dozen or more 

 beneath boards and other cover along the margins of shallow fresh 

 water lakes just east of Dunedin. February 7-March 24. One 

 also at Ormond, April 6. I regard this as a distinct species, and 

 not a variety of vians 111., as listed. Aside from the differences in 

 colour, it is much more finely and indistinctly punctate than vians. 



Haltica schvvarzi, sp. nov. — Oblong-oval, feebly convex. 

 Above, uniform piceous, strongly bronzed or brassy; joints 

 4 — 10 of antennae piceous, finely pubescent, the three basal joints 

 dark reddish ; under surface and legs piceous. Eyes large, coarsely 

 granulate. Thorax one-third wider than long, sides feebly rounded,, 

 ante-basal impression entire; disc convex, feebly constricted near 

 the apex, finely and very sparsely punctate. Elytra at base nearly 

 one-half wider than thorax, sides parallel for three-fourths their 

 length, then broadly rounded into apex; disc very finely alutaceous, 

 distinctly but sparsely punctate, the punctures ending to form 

 regular rows; a broad and shallow impression behind the scutellum;. 

 umbone not prominent. Under surface finely and closely punctate- 

 Length 4.2 — 4.5 mm.; width 2.3 mm. 



Frequent on semi-aquatic plants along the shores of Lake 

 Okeechobee. March 3-March 7. Larger than H. ignita and uni- 

 form in colour as described. Umbone less prominent, its inner 

 limiting depression obsolete. Elytra relatively longer, less convex,, 

 and more distinctly punctate. Of it Mr. E. A. Schwarz (to whom,, 

 for his many favours, I dedicate the species) says : ''This is one of 

 the various (at least four) good species which we lump in collections- 

 under the name Haltica ignita," 



Longitarsus corulus, sp. nov. 



Oblong, narrowly oval, slender, apterous. Upper surface uni- 

 form pale yellowish testaceous, finely but distinctly alutaceous; 

 under surface dusky. Antennae slender, two-thirds as long as body, 

 outer joints dusky, the second, third and fourth joints subequal in 

 length. Thorax not wider than long, sides broadly rounded, disc
