June, 1922.] Blatchley: Notes ON Rhynchophora. 99 



A single specimen in the Wolcott collection talcen June 13, 1909, at 

 Willow Springs, 111. LeConte's unique type of fulvipes was described 

 from that State without definite locality. It is possible that nigrescens 

 may prove to be the T. centralis Lee, described from New Mexico. 



Apion punctinasum Smith, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, XI, 1884, 46- 



Two specimens of this well-marked species were taken this season 

 in Marion Co., Ind., one June 22, the other August 15. both being 

 swept from low herbage in a dense woodland near Broad Ripple. It 

 was not included in the Rhynchophora as it has previously been known 

 only from the Northwest, ranging from Dakota and British Columbia 

 to Wyoming and Nevada. Identified for me by Mr. Fall, who wrote 

 that among New Jersey material recently received from Bischoff, he 

 had found a specimen also very close to punctinasum. From all other 

 eastern Apionids punctinasum may be known by its short, stout, densely 

 punctate beak and by having three conspicuous patches of white pubes- 

 cence on the elytra, one on the base of each of the third intervals, 

 the other just behind the scutellum. Belongs in Group II of the 

 Rhynchophora, following rcclusum in the key on p. "/T)- 



71. Apion finitimum Fall. 



This species was taken in numbers July 14, while sweeping about 

 the borders of a wet-weather pond near Broad Ripple, Marion Co., 

 Ind. The first record for the State, Fall's types being from Massa- 

 chusetts, District of Columbia and Michigan. 



115. Apion lividum Smith. 



About Dunedin this little pale reddish-brown Apion occurs in num- 

 bers in early winter on the foliage and flowers of the climbing hemp- 

 weed, Willughbcca scandens (L.). It is probable that a close exami- 

 nation of this plant, which ranges from Indiana and Ontario to Florida 

 and Texas, will disclose that the weevil occurs in a number of the 

 southern States, it being so far known only from Florida. 



Apion hibisci Fall, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, XXVI, 1918, 219. 



This addition to our eastern species of Apion is so far known only 

 from New Jersey, where it occurs in numbers, breeding in galls on the 

 swamp rose mallow, Hibiscus moscheutos L. Specimens are at hand
