ing the thorax margined on sides, the front margin straight. The 
larve feed on the roots of strawberries and other plants, while 
the adults attack the leaves of grapes and strawberries. The 
species of this and the genera up to XXIV have the head inserted 
in thorax to eyes, last dorsal segment covered by elytra, antennae 
widely separted at base, front coxae rounded, third tarsal joint 
‘bilobed. They belong to the subfamily Humolpinae. 
*89, (15555). C. brunnea (Fabr.).—‘Common” (Sz.). Jacksonville 
(C. & L.). Ormond, Apr. 18. Gainesville on sweet potato foliage, Aug., and 
cowpeas, July (Doz.). The typical form probably occurs only in the north- 
ern third of the State, and both it and var. flavida are known as the “grape 
vine Colaspis, “the adults at times riddling the leaves of the vines, the larvae 
attacking strawberry roots. (Riley, Third Mo. Rep., 1881). Also known to 
feed on cotton leaves, clover, buckwheat, potatoes and corn. 
*89a, (15555a). C. brunnea costipennis Cr.—‘Not rare” (Sz.). Jack- 
sonville (C. & L.). Ocala and Dunedin, Mch. 16-Apr. 11. Gainesville on 
velvet beans (Wat.). 
*89b, (15555b). C. brunnea flavida Say.—Occurs, south to Ft. Myers. 
Common at Dunedin on herbage and at porch light, Mar.-Sept. Gainesville, 
June-Aug. (Wat.). 
*90. (15559). C. favosa Say.—“Common’” (Sz.). Occurs as far south 
as Cleveland (Kn.). Frequent about Dunedin, especially so at porch light, 
June-Sept. Feeds on eucalyptus and grape foliage (Doz.). 
XVI. Rhabdopterus Lefevre. 
Small oblong-oval, convex, shining brown species (4-6 mm.), 
having the prosternum broad and flat, its sides nearly parallel. 
*91, (15563). R. praetexta (Say.)—Recorded from several stations as far 
south as Biscayne Bay (Sz. Ms.). Dunedin, Mch. 20; beaten from the pepper- 
vine, Ampelopsis arborea (L.). Probably in part confused with the next. 
Usually listed as R. picipes (Oliv.). (See Bl., 1923, 30.). 
*92, (——). R. blatchleyi Bowd.’, 1921, 234.—Types from Dunedin, 
collected by me. At hand from Sanford, Arch Creek, Little River, Bassenger, 
L. Okeechobee, Sarasota and Dunedin, and probably occurs throughout the 
southern half of the State (Bl., 1923). On flowers of thistle and foliage of 
various shrubs in March and April. Larger and more oblong than 
praetexta, with antennal joints 7, 10 and 11 dark. 
XVII. Graphops Leconte. 
Small subcylindrical, convex pubescent species (2.5-4 mm.), 
brown or coppery bronzed in hue, the thorax without side margins 
and head with a groove above the eyes. The larvae occur about 
the roots of the evening primrose, Onagra biennis (L.), straw- 
berry and other plants, the adults, often in large numbers, on the 
foliage.
