bers in Florida, is always larger, not less than 3.5 mm., with head and 

 subapical constriction of thorax distinctly punctured, and the punc- 

 tures of elytra, especially along the flanks, very coarse. No inter- 

 mediate forms have been found. 



775. Lembodes solitarius Boh. — This curious Cryptorhynchid, usu- 

 ally considered rare, I found quite frequent about Cape Sable, 30 or 

 more specimens having been taken, mostly by beating the dead limbs 

 of Bumelia angustifolia Nutt. 



780. Pseudomus inflatus Lee. — Common at Key West on the foliage 

 of the sea-grape, Coccolobis uvifera L. 



781. Pseudomus sedentarius Say. — A single example was taken at 

 Lakeland, Fla., Feb. 13, by beating bunches of Spanish moss. Known 

 heretofore only from Ormond and Enterprise, Fla. 



784. Acalles granosus Lee. — Two specimens of this handsome and 

 distinctively marked weevil were taken Feb. 17, beneath chunks of 

 saw-palmetto stems along the edge of the beach of Clearwater Bay, 

 one mile north of Dunedin. Hitherto known only from the east coast 

 of that State. 



791. Acalles minimus Blatch. — Several examples of this pygmy of 

 the genus were taken at Cape Sable by beating in dense hammocks. 



Acalles sablensis new species. 



Oval, robust. Dark reddish-brown, above densely clothed with dirty gray, 

 white and fuscous scales ; the white ones forming a vague stripe each side and 

 a quadrate spot at middle of base of thorax, and a broad common V-shaped 

 blotch on the declivity of elytra; this bordered in front by an irregular cross 

 band of fuscous scales, these also forming several scattered blotches on disk of 

 thorax and basal half of elytra and a broad common one on middle of declivity. 

 Under surface thickly clothed with round white scales. Beak broad, flattened, 

 subspatulate, about as long as thorax, naked except at base, finely and sparsely 

 punctate, carinate on basal third. Thorax slightly broadfer than long, strongly 

 narrowed and broadly constricted in front of middle, sides rounded. Sculpture 

 concealed, disk with numerous scattered, very short forward-inclined setse. 

 Elytra oval, one-fourth wider at base than thorax, sides parallel to apical third, 

 thence gradually converging to the conjointly rounded apex ; sculpture of disk 

 concealed ; intervals convex, each with a single row of short white, backward- 

 inclined bristles. Length, 3-5 mm. 



Two specimens, differing much in size but otherwise very similar, 

 were collected at Cape Sable, Fla., Feb. 21 to 23. They were taken 

 about six miles apart by beating dead branches in dense hammocks.
