THE CHRYSOMELIDAE OF FLORIDA 
By W. S. BLATCHLEY 
Dunedin, Florida 
(Continued from Vol. VII, No. 3) 
II. Antipus DeGeer—(Anomeea Lac.) 
Rather stout elongate (7-8 mm.) subcylindrical, dull yellow 
species having the head inserted in thorax to eyes; thorax as 
wide as elytra and with side margins; mandibles toothed; last 
dorsal segment exposed, declivent; antennae short, serrate, not 
received in grooves; surface not tuberculate; prosternum not 
separating front coxae. The larvae are case-bearers and are 
said to live mainly in ants’ nests, feeding upon vegetable debris. 
(This and Genus IV form the subfamily Clythrinae.) 
*20. (15262). A. laticlavia (Forst.).—Numerous records from the north- 
ern three-fourths of the State. Dunedin at porch light, Apr. 26. Occurs on 
oak, citrus, etc.; “feeding on pine foliage, June 8” (Doz.). Also said to 
injure leaves of cotton. 
IV. Coscinoptera Lacordaire. 
Small oblong (3-7 mm.) black pubescent species. The eggs are 
attached to leaves of various plants. The larvae are case-bearers, 
and feed upon dead leaves of the plants upon which the adults 
are found. (Riley, Ins. Mo., VI, 127.) 
*21. (15267). C. dominicana (Fabr)—Haulover and Tampa, very rare 
(Sz.). Dunedin, one only, Apr. 5; Gainesville on oak (Doz.). 
V. Chlamys Knoch. 
Small robust blackish or bronze beetles (2-4 mm.) having the 
upper surface furnished with numerous wart-like tubercles, and 
antennae received in grooves. The larvae live on the surface of 
leaves enclosed in cases formed of their own excrement. This 
genus and the next are very closely allied forming the subfamily 
Chlamydinae which is badly in need of revision. °
