2 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
XXI. Myochrous Erichson. 
Medium sized oblong, convex species (5-7 mm.), piceous-brown, 
thinly clothed with hair-like scales, the thorax toothed on sides 
and with postocular lobes in front. Larvae unknown. 
*114. (15608). M. denticollis (Say).—Common (Sz.). North half of 
the State, south to Lakeland and Dunedin. Frequent about Dunedin, Jan.- 
Apr., in winter beneath cover along the margins of ponds; in spring on 
huckleberry and other blossoms; once at carrion trap. Gainesville, July-Aug. 
on grass, ferns and corn (Wat.). 
XXII. Typophorus Erichson. 
Rather large (6-7.5 mm.), oval, convex, greenish-blue, glabrous 
shining species, with punctures of elytra in regular rows and 
hind tibiae notched near apex. The adults occur on bindweeds, 
morning glory and other Convolvulacez. 
*115. (15625). T. viridicyaneus Cr.—Gainesville; one eating sweet potato 
foliage, Aug. 18 (Doz.); one at hand, taken by Fattig, May 14. No other 
State record. 
XXIII. Paria Leconte. 
Small (3-4 mm.) dull yellow, reddish-brown or blackish species, 
closely related to Typophorus. The larvae feed at times on the 
roots of strawberry, while the adults occur on wild grape and 
numerous other plants. Horn (1892, 208) lumped all our forms 
under one name and Leng so catalogues them. There is no 
doubt but that three or four distinct species occur in the eastern 
and southern States. 
116 (15626). P. canella (Fabr.).—Ft. Myers, Apr. 23 (Davis Coll.); 
Lawtey, on wild grape (Wat.). Larger than the other forms, dull red with 
suture and two large spots on each elytron piceous, tibiz and tarsi fuscous. 
The T. canellus quadriguttatus listed by Wickham from Ft. Myers was prob- 
ably this form. 
*116a (15626a). P. canella aterrima (Oliv.)—Throughout the State. 
At hand from six stations, Dec.-Apr. Taken by beating in dense hammocks; 
also beneath cover, and once several specimens by sifting a pile of rotten 
unhulled rice. Gainesville, always in low ground, July-Oct. (Wat.). 
*116b (15626h). P. canella thoracica (Melsh.)—Dunedin, Apr. 19; 
sweeping low herbage. : 
*116c (15626e). P. canella quadrinotata (Say.)—At hand from Sanford, 
Palmdale, Ft. Myers, Tarpon Springs and Dunedin, Mch.-Apr., by sweeping 
St. Johnswort, tall grasses, etc., near ponds. 
*116d (15626g). P. canella sexnotata (Say).—Throughout the State. 
About Dunedin it is taken frequently—Dec.-Apr., but only by sweeping and 
beating ferns and other foliage in a dense wet hammock. Mt. Dora on oak, 
June (Wat.). It is this variety and aterrima whose larve do much damage 
to strawberries in the North.
