458. Anthonomus disjunctus Lee. 



Five specimens have been taken at Dunedin, Fla., December 1-16, 

 by sweeping the foliage of huckleberry and other low shrubs in open 

 pine woods. Not known heretofore from that State. 



Anthonomus parvulus new species. 



Subovate, robust. Dark reddish-brown ; beak, head, antennal club, tarsi, 

 suture and a large scutellar triangular spot on elytra darker chestnut-brown ; 

 above very thinly pubescent with exceedingly fine white hairs, which are 

 condensed on the scutellum and in one or two minute patches along the 

 edges of the denuded fascia, which is evident but very faint. Beak relatively 

 stout, curved, about as long as thorax, minutely and sparsely punctate. An- 

 tennae inserted at apical fourth, scape very slender, reaching lower border of 

 eye ; funicle 6-jointed, joint i stout, obconical, 2 about half the length and 

 diameter of i, slightly longer than 3 to 6, which are subglobose and gradually 

 increase in size. Thorax strongly shining, one third wider at base than 

 long, sides almost straight, feebly converging to apex ; disk slightly con- 

 stricted near apex, coarsely punctured, the punctures separated by as much 

 as their own diameter. Elytra oval, one fourth wider at base than thorax, 

 striae fine, feebly impressed, their punctures fine, well separated ; intervals 

 almost flat, each with a row of minute punctures. Fore femora with a 

 slender acute tooth at apical fourth, middle and hind ones unarmed ; claws 

 with a large basal tooth. Length 1.2 mm. 



Three specimens, two taken at Dunedin, Fla., December i, by sweep- 

 ing low shrubs in open pine woods, the other at Lakeland, Fla., 

 February 21, by beating tall huckleberry bushes. Belongs to Group A 

 of the subgenus Sexarthrus, p. 311 of the Rhynchophora. Allied to 

 siihfasciatiis Lee, but much smaller, with punctuation of thorax 

 coarser and much sparser, denuded fascia of elytra very faint, and 

 only the front femora armed. It is the smallest known member of the 

 subgenus, and one of the smallest of the Anthonomini. 



464. Anthonomus nubilus Lee. 



Taken in recent years in both Knox and Crawford counties, Ind., 

 Orange County furnishing the only previous State record. 



Anthonomus pictus new species. 



Oblong-oval. Piceous, densely and evenly clothed above with minute 



oval pale brown and white scales, the white ones forming a median and 



two lateral stripes on thorax, covering the basal half of fifth and median 



third of third elytral intervals, also the scutellum and a small sutural space
