8196. — Rhinomacer pilosus Lee. Originally described from 

 Lake Superior, Virginia and California, this weevil has since been 

 recorded from as far south as Agricultural College, Mississippi. 

 A single specimen was beaten from pine at Dunedin, January 29. 

 In his characterization of the family Rhinomaceridce LeConte 

 states that the first joint of the antenna? is "a little stouter than 

 the second but not longer." In the Dunedin specimen it is at 

 least one-half longer. 



8205.— Eugnamptus striatus Lee. A dozen or more were 

 beaten from oak at Dunedin and Ormond. March 19 — April 14. 



8223. — Pterocolus ovatus Fab. This pretty little weevil 

 was also beaten from oak at Dunedin, Eustis, Sanford and Ormond. 

 March 19 — April 14, ten specimens having been secured. 



8310. — Pachnaeus distans Horn. Four examples, taken at 

 Ormond on April 11 — 14, range from 10 to 14 mm. in length. 

 Horn, in his original description, gives the length as 8 mm. 



8340. — Eudiagogus pulcher Fab. At. Sanford, on January 

 13, several hundred of this handsome weevil were found hiber- 

 nating beneath the bark of a pine log which lay by the side of a 

 ditch of running water along the edge of a truck patch. It appears 

 to be a common species throughout the State. 



10,814. — Apion lividum Smith. Quite common on the dead 

 vines of the wild cucumber (Melothria) and in dense masses of 

 Spanish moss at Pelican Bay, Lake Okeechobee. A small reddish- 

 yellow species which at first sight is liable to be taken for an 

 Anthonomns . 



10,829. — Hyperodes (Macrops) hornii Dietz. Beneath 

 boards, along the margins of a shallow fresh- water lake just back 

 of Dunedin, this species and H. anthracinns Dietz, were taken in 

 numbers. With them were also several other species of Listronotus 

 and Hyperodes as yet unidentified. //. hornii was also found at 

 Ormond and Lake Istokpoga. January 21 — April 14. 



July, 1914
