Dorydiella floridana Baker. 



Dorydiella appears to me to belong to the division Dorydi- 

 aria rather than the Euscelidaria where it has been recently 

 placed by VanDuzee. In the folicaeous margin of head, char- 

 acter of front and general fasciesit seems associated with 

 Cochlorhinus and Huleria rather than with Acinopterus, next to 

 which it was placed by VanDuzee, evidently on account of the 

 similarly pointed elytra, a character, however, which is found 

 also in Dorydium and some of its allies. Especially in head

characters D. floridana comes very close to Huleria Ball and I 

 would place the genus next to this or perhaps group Cochlorhinus 

 Huleria and Dorydiella together in a closely related series. 



Of the American genera we may then consider Dorycephalus, 

 Neoslossonia, Hecalus, Spanghergiella and Parabolocratus as 

 forming one series; Dicyphonia, Actirhinus, Cochlorhinus, 

 Uhleriella, Huleria and Dorydiella, another of close affinities,
