52 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
Dade City. I have also taken it at Lakeland, Plymouth and Fellsmere and re- 
peatedly at Orlando, both at light and in the field. It is one of the most 
abundant species at light at Orlando during February and March. 
Crambus satrapellus Zincken. 
First recorded from the state by Grote (1880). There is one specimen in 
the National Museum from Dade City, in the Carnegie Museum at Pitts- 
burg one from Melbourne (Laurent) and in Barnes’ collection specimens 
from Fort Myers, Marco, Dade City, Hastings, and Kissimmee. I have 
collected it at Orlando, Lakeland, Plymouth and Fellsmere. 
Crambus tripsacus Dyar. 
Described from specimens from Miami (Dyar) and in Barnes’ collection 
there are also specimens from St. Petersburg. 
? Crambus trisectus Walker. 
There are three specimens in the National Museum collection bearing 
the simple label “Fla.”’ It is very doubtful, however, if these are correctly 
labeled for otherwise east of the Mississippi River the species is not known 
to extend farther south than the northern edge of Tennessee. It should not 
be listed as a Florida species without corroboration. | 
Crambus zeelus Fernald. 
Not previously recorded from Florida. One specimen in the National 
Museum from Lakeland (Ainslie) and several in Barnes’ collection from 
Hastings. I have also taken specimens referable here at Lakeland, Port 
Tampa and Orlando. 
Diatraea differentialis Fernald. 
This huge species, spreading 11% to 2% inches, was originally described 
from Florida by Fernald (1888) and all the specimens which I have seen 
in collections have been from this state. There are specimens in Barnes’ 
collection from St. Petersburg (Ludwig), Fort Myers, Kissimmee, Venice, 
Chokoloskee and Palm Beach, and one in the National Museum from Fort 
Myers (Davis). 
Diatraea saccharalis crambidoides Grote. 
This is the destructive sugar-cane moth-borer which also attacks Jap- 
anese cane and, much more rarely, corn. According to Holloway (1919) it 
occurs practically throughout peninsular Florida as far north as Gaines- 
ville. 
Diatraea saccharalis saccharalis Fab. 
The typical and more southern form occurring in the West Indies and 
South America. Dyar (1911) records a single specimen from southern 
Florida. 
Diatraea zeacolella Dyar. 
Because of the long-standing confusion between this, the larger corn- 
stalk-borer, and D. saccharalis crambidoides, the sugar-cane moth-borer of 
our southern states, it is difficult to determine just who first reported this 
species from Florida. Holloway and Loftin (1919) state that it occurs in 
northern Florida.
