Since my first supplementary paper, cited above, appeared, Leng's 

 " Catalogue of the Coleoptera of America North of Mexico," and 

 Casey's " Some Descriptive Studies among the American Barinae," 

 have been issued. Most changes in these two works of the nomen- 

 clature in the Rhynchophora, relating to the species which are men- 

 tioned in this paper, have been adopted. The order of treatment and 

 the serial number before each species are, however, those of the 

 Rhynchophora. Where a species is placed under a new generic name 

 by either Leng or Casey, the old name in parenthesis follows the new. 



11, Toxotropis floridanus Leng. 



One specimen was taken at Lakeland, Fla., March 2. Known here- 

 tofore only from Enterprise, and Dunedin, that State. 



12. Eusphyrus walshi Lee. 



This little Anthribid ^ resembles so closely some of our species of 

 Brachytarsus that it is often confused in collections with them. In 

 fact, it is now my opinion that the genus, if distinct from Brachytar- 

 sus, should be placed near it in the Anthribini and not with the 

 Tropiderini, with which it is less closely allied. In walshi the trans- 

 verse ridge is as near the base of thorax as in any species of Brachy- 

 tarsus. The only salient distinctions between the two genera are that 

 the beak is wider and less tapering in Eusphyrus and the hind angles 

 of thorax project a little more beyond the humeri. The color of the 

 legs is variable in walshi, the femora in some examples being piceous 

 and the tibiae pale only at base. The beetle is scarce both in Indiana 

 and Florida, but four specimens having been taken in all my collecting 

 in Indiana, while my single example taken at Ormond, Fla., is, as far 

 as known, the only one recorded from that State. 



i6. Tropideres rectus Lee. 



Two specimens were taken at Chokoloskee, Fla., March i6, by beat- 

 ing dead vines. Hitherto known in that State only on or near the 

 east coast. 



1 Leng in the body of his reeent Catalogue has adopted the name Platy- 

 stomidae, proposed by Pieree in 1916, for the long used family name Anthribi- 

 dae, but in his preface and chart uses the old name, which is much to be 

 preferred.
