Sept., 1922.] Blatchley: Notes on Rhynchophora. 119 



A single specimen, differing from those found in Indiana only in 

 having the ground color black instead of reddish-brown or piceous, 

 was taken March 2 at Dunedin, Florida. It is the first record for 

 that State. To a new genus, which he calls Anacentrus, Casey, loc. 

 cit., p. 463, has assigned this species as the genotype, and includes 

 with it all the other species of Group A of Limnobaris as treated in 

 the Rhynchophora, p. 394. He describes as new 13 additional species, 

 only two of which are from the Eastern States, viz., ornatus from 

 Missouri, Tennessee and Indiana, and ovulatus from North Carolina. 



For Limnobaris rectirostris and calva Lee, members of Group B 

 of the Rhynchophora, he founds the genus Dirabius with rectirostris 

 as the genotype, and describes six new species from the Eastern 

 States. For L. grisea Lee, also a member of Group B, he erects the 

 genus Barilepsis and describes virginica from Virginia. With L. 

 confinis Lee. as the genotype, he founds the genus Sibariops and as- 

 signs to it L. confiisa Boh., putcifera, fratcrcula and concurrens 

 Casey, and conciuna Lee, all members of Group B, and adds to it 

 22 new species from east of the Mississippi. 



615. Cylindridia (Limnobaris) prolixa (Lee). 



This species is made the type of the new genus Cylindridia and 

 three other species included with it. Casey suggests that my Lim- 

 nobaris tenua (No. 618 of the Rhynchophora) possibly belongs to 

 the genus, but as the type is evidently a male without antecoxal proc- 

 esses, their absence precludes it 



Haplostethops caviventris new species. 



Elongate-oval, robust. Black, feebly shining ; antennae, tibiae and tarsi 

 reddish-brown ; above very thinly clothed with long hair-like whitish scales, 

 which in fresh specimens are arranged transversely on the thora.x, and con- 

 densed along its median line and in a vague stripe each side, and on the elytra 

 are more numerous on the declivity ; beneath with very small oval whitish 

 scales, strongly condensed on the metasterna and along the sides of abdomen, 

 and large elongate ones more thinly placed on the pro- and mesosterna. 

 Beak of male stout, strongly curved, as long as head and thorax, finely striate, 

 rather densely punctate and scaly, the antennas inserted at apical third ; of 

 female, slightly longer and more slender, almost smooth and glabrous, the 

 antennae near the middle. Thorax almost one fourth wider than long, sides 

 slightly curved and constricted before the subtubulate apex, disk with a 

 very narrow, smooth median line, above finely and densely punctate, on sides
