Type locality: Dunedin, Fla. 

 Specimens examined: 69, including holotype. 

 Distribution: Seacoast from North Carolina to Florida to Ala- 

 bama. See map (fig. 3).

 Georgia: Savannah. Florida: Coconut Grove, Dade Co., Dunedm, Englewood,

Remarks: Saylor (1946) placed blaichleyi Cartwright in synonymy, 

 as I surmised it might be in the original description. I have recently 

 examined Blatchley's type of subtropicus and agree that his action 

 was correct. Thus far this has been the only large species of Bothynus 

 found in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
