424. Anthonomus grandis Boh. — This destructive species has not 

 yet done much damage in Florida. A specimen from Lake City is at 

 hand. It was not known from that State in 191 6. 



441. Anthonomus uniformis Blatch. — A number of examples of 

 this species have been taken at Dunedin and Lakeland, Fla., in Febru-

 huckleberry and other low shrubs. 



446. Anthonomus unicus Blatch. — Since 1916 this species has been 

 collected at Lakeland and Okeechobee City, Fla. It hibernates in 

 bunches of Spanish moss and in spring occurs on foliage about the 

 borders of hammocks. 



449. Anthonomus varipes Duval. — This well marked weevil has 

 been taken in small numbers at both Cape Sable and Key West. It

 and very sparsely punctate. Thorax one-fourth wider than long, sides straight 

 for three-fourths their length, then rounded to apex ; disk strongly convex, 

 coarsely punctate, the punctures separated by their own diameters, those near 

 apex gradually smaller. Elytra elongate-oval, as wide at base as thorax, 

 sides straight and parallel to apical fifth, thence rounded into apex ; striae fine,

Dunedin and Lakeland, Fla. ; Billy's Island, Ga. ; Feb. i to June. 

 Swept from huckleberry and other low shrubs along the margins of 

 ponds. Allied to B. hypcrion Casey, but smaller, relatively broader,

 to him.
