8i8. Anchonus duryi Blatch. — Taken in company with Cono- 

 trachclus maritimiis Bl. from beneath chunks along the bay front at 

 Dunedin. 



822. Dryotribus miraeticus Horn. — Frequent at Cape Sable in 

 company with Gonoiiotits angnUcollis Suft'r. beneath logs along the 

 beach, the latter species occurring by hundreds. 



839. Caulophilus latinasus Say. — Found hibernating in large 

 bunches of Spanish moss along the borders of lakes near Lakeland, 

 Fla., a dozen or more specimens having been taken in February. 



879. Sphenophorus chittendeni Blatch. — Three additional speci- 

 mens of this well marked species have come to hand since 1916, two 

 from Dunedin, the type locality, where they were found crawling on 

 the sidewalk, the other from Billy's Island, Ga. Chittenden reports 

 another in his collection from Eaugallis, Fla. The males are dis- 

 tinctly the smaller and more slender and the smooth median area of 

 thorax varies much in form and size. 



. Sphenophorus deficiens Chitt. Mss. — One specimen, to which 



Dr. Chittenden gives this name, was taken by me from beneath a log 

 on the ocean beach at Ormond, Fla., March 15. His type is from 

 Crescent City. Fla. It is closely related to :;c(c Walsh, but is larger, 

 with beak stouter at base and the lateral vitt^e of thorax almost ob- 

 literated. 



Sphenophorus omissus new species. 



More slender than its nearest ally, S. at<r Walsh. Black, feebly shining ; 

 antennas and tarsi dark reddish-brown. Beak slender, one-half as long as 

 thorax, strongly compressed beyond the antennal fossae, both it and head 

 minutely and sparsely punctate, without basal or frontal groove. Thorax about 

 one-third-longer than wide, sides parallel from base to apical third, then 

 rounded to the constricted apex ; disk without elevated vittas ; rather finely and 

 irregularly punctate and with a narrow smooth median line on apical half, 

 niuch more coarsely and sparsely punctate on basal portion. Elytra as wide 

 at base as thorax, widest just behind humeri, the sides thence regularly con- 

 verging to the conjointly narrowly rounded tips; inter\'als of disk flat, sinuous, 

 each with a row of minute punctures ; strije with very coarse punctures which 

 cause the sinuosity of the intervals. Pygidium coarsely and shallowly punctate. 

 Abdomen coarsely and sparsely punctate, the first and second segments broadly 

 and shallowly concave in male. Length, 6.3 mm. 



Two specimens collected March 31 from beneath log near border 

 of pond at Dunedin, Fla. Belongs under gg of Group D (p. 561), but
