ALEYRODID^. 



Aleyrodes mori Quaint. This aleyrodid has been taken on a number 

 of hosts in the hammocks. The under surface of nearly every leaf of a 

 large holly tree was found covered with this species, December 2. They 

 were heavily parasitized by an unknown chalcid. 



COCCID^. 



Chionaspis pinifoliae var. heterophyllae Cooley. This scale is at 

 times rather abundant on pine foliage. The writer has reared from this 

 species the hymenopterous parasites, Aphelinus mytilaspidis and Pros- 

 paltella sp. in mmibers. November 19-December 20. 



Toumayella parvicome Ckll. Also found on pine, but in sparing 

 nimibers, November 19. This parasite, Coccophagus immaculaUis, and 

 a species of Aphycus (.?) were reared from this host. 



Ceroplastes floridensis Comst. A branch of long-leaf pine was 

 found infested with this scale, December 2. 



Toumayella turgida Ckll. This scale is quite characteristic of the 

 magnolia, being found on the underside of the leaves. Large numbers 

 of the male scales were collected February 10. No females were to be 

 found. From a small branch of six heavily infested leaves were reared 

 nearly 500 males and 30 specimens of the parasite Coccophagus immacu- 

 latus. It is during this month that these scales are most abundant. 



Aspidiotus hederae Vail. This species is often met with on the 

 leaves of swamp red bay, Persea pubescens, but is never abundant. 



Coccus sp. The males of this species closely resemble those of 

 Toumayella turgida, but are smaller in size. It is quite characteristic 

 of red bay, Persea borbonia and is most abundant during February. 

 A species of Coccophagus was reared in numbers. 



COLEOPTERA. 



CICINDELID^. 



Cicindela punctulata Fab. This is the most common species of 

 tiger-beetle here. It is found along the sides of roads and in pathways 

 running through open hammock. 



Cicindela scutellaris var. unicolor Dej. Met with in the same 

 habitats as the above species, but is not as abundant. 



CARABID^. 



Omophron labiatum Fabr. This oval, convex carabid has been 

 taken by the writer only beneath arc lights, but according to W. S. 

 Blatchley, it occupies holes in the wet banks along the margin of streams, 

 ponds, and sinks. 



Pasimachus strenuus Lee. Met with occasionally beneath old 

 logs. April 9-22. 



Pasimachus subsulcatus Say. Occurs in the same habitats as the 

 above species. April 4.
