Remarks. — E. ocelleus is of wide distribution, occurring in many 

 parts of the world. The distribution cited herein is for the Western 

 Hemisphere and is restricted to localities represented by material 

 studied. For additional synonymy and distribution, see Bleszynski 

 and ColUns (1962). 



Heretofore, ocelleus has been associated with stored products and 

 dead vegetation (Behne, 1952; Corbet and Tams, 1943; Hinton, 1943; 

 Meyi-ick, 1928). The species is not a feeder on such material and 

 doubtless its association with these was accidental.
