7426. Opatrinus aciculatus Lee. — This appears to be far 

 more common in Central and Southern Florida than 0. notus Say. 

 Numerous specimens were taken at Dunedin and on the Kissim- 

 mee River trip. It occurs beneath cover in moist sandy localities. 

 January 20-March 24. 



7487. Eutochia crenata Lee. — Sifted one specimen from a 

 dead fungus near Dunedin. January 23. 



Platydema subquadratum Mots. — One example, so 

 named for me by Mr. Schwarz, was taken from an oak tree fungus 

 near Dunedin, March 16. It is 7.5 mm. in length, shining black, 

 with legs and basal joints of antenna? pale, and with elytral rows of 

 punctures very small, close-set and unimpressed. 



7535. Hypophloeus thoracicus Mels. — Three examples from 

 beneath bark of dead pine in open woods. Sarasota, January 28. 



7575. Talanus (Dignamptus) langurinus Lee. — Quite com- 

 mon on the custard apple (Anona glabra Dunal) and a wild cucum- 

 ber (Melothria pendula L.) along the borders of Lake Okeechobee 

 and the lower stretches of the Kissimmee River. March 1-7. 

 All the specimens taken were a shining dark chestnut brown, not 

 black as described. Length 3.5-7 mm. 



I fully agree with Dr. John Hamilton (Can. Ent., XXVII, 321) 

 that T. stenochinus and langurinus are only different sizes of the 

 same species, the latter and smaller perhaps being the male. He 

 states that Dr. Horn had come to the same conclusion and that the 

 name langurinus should be given to both. 



Talanus okeechobensis, sp. nov. 



Elongate, subcylindrical, robust. Dark chestnut brown, shin- 

 ing; antenna? and legs slightly paler. Antenna? as long as head 

 and thorax, the joints gradually stouter, the 8th, 9th and 10th 

 wider than long. Head finely and rather densely punctate. Thorax 

 slightly longer than wide, feebly narrowed at base; apex rounded, 

 base truncate; hind angles small, rectangular, acute, disc convex, 

 rather coarsely, closely and unevenly punctate. Elytra very dis- 

 tinctly wider than thorax, strongly convex, deeply striate, the 

 stria? rather finely serrate punctate; intervals convex, minutely 

 punctulate. Abdomen finely and very sparsely punctate. Front 

 tibia with a strong tooth one-third from apex. Length 6-6.5 mm.
