34 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
°(153) Tanymecus lacaena Hbst. Captured in Gainesville, 
eating the leaves of Baccharis. 
(177) Hudiogogus rosenschoeldi Fabr. was collected in Oc- 
tober near Tampa by Mr. U. C. Zeluff, who writes: ‘On oak 
trees some of which were very heavily infested.” This is the 
first record of this large handsome weevil from Florida. It also 
establishes a new host plant. 
(217) Hyperodes cryptops Dietz. Gainesville, April 21. At 
“lizard’s tail” (Saururus cernuus) in bloom. Said to be scarce. 
(258) Derelomus basalis Lec. Said by Blatchley and Leng 
to be especially abundant on the dwarf papaw (Asimina parvi- 
flora). We have taken it at Gainesville on wild plum in Feb., 
on velvet beans in July, and on blossoms of the button-bush 
(Cephalanthus). 
(411) Tachypterus quadrigibbus Say. The Apple Curculio. 
Branford, Fla., on cotton, a new host. 
(434) Anthonomus signatus Say. This is the Strawberry 
Weevil which is quite a pest in some of the more northern states. 
It lays its eggs in the buds and then cuts the stem so that the 
bud withers and dies. It does not seem to attack strawberries 
in Florida but is abundant in the blossoms of the wild haw 
(Crataegus) in March. 
(549) Baris splendens Casey. Reported only from thistle 
Feb.-April. We have taken it on thistle on Jan. 19, and on 
goldenrod, Grindelia, ironweed (Vernonia) and other compo- 
sites, July-Sept. All records are from the heads of composites, 
evidently its preferred hosts. 
(560) Aulobaris ibis Lec. On dog fennell and bee-balm 
(Monarda), abundant in October. But also from “mayweed” 
and ironweed on July 4. All previous Florida records are in 
the fall. 
(575) Centrinus modestus Boh. On goldenrod in Sept. 
(577) Centrinus albotectus Casey. Said to be “scarce” at 
Sanford in April but abundant here during April and May on 
goldenrod, flebane daisy, lizard’s tail, blackberry and haw blos- 
soms. Evidently a spring insect only with us, but reported in 
July in New Jersey. 
(579) Centrinus perscillus Gyll. Schon. Campville, Fla., 
“Feeding on Cotton”; Sanford Aug. 3, 1918, on Cassia sp. 
(584) Odontocorynus scutellum-album Say. Common at 
Gainesville, on various composites as are most other records. 
Evidently a weevil of compositae.
