6 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
XXXIV. Monoxia Leconte. 
Resembles Galerucella very closely. Tarsal claws narrowly 
bifid in males, simple in females; antennae not reaching middle 
of body. The species occur near the coast, usually on submari- 
time plants. 
*138 (15755). M. puncticollis (Say).—Occurs on both the Atlantic and 
Gulf coasts. At hand from Ormond, Key West, Everglade and Dunedin, 
Nov.-Apr.; recorded from several other stations. Swept from a swamp 
golden-rod growing in brackish water, and from the foliage of the man- 
grove, Rhizophora mangle L. Formerly listed as Galeruca maritima Lec. 
Varies much in color, many specimens being devoid of the usual elytral dark 
stripes. 
*139 (15758). M. batisia Blatch., 1917, 273.—Types from Hog Island, 
opposite Dunedin, Jan.-Apr., where it occurs in numbers on the saltwort, 
Batis maritima L., a fleshy-leaved seaside plant. No other record. 
XXXV. Diabrotica Chevrolat. 
Small or medium oblong-oval, glabrous species (4-7 mm.), dull 
yellow in hue, the elytra with black stripes or spots, thorax im- 
pressed at middle, front and middle tibiae with spurs. Both 
larve and adults are active plant feeders, the former attacking 
the roots, and often doing much damage to cultivated crops. 
*140 (15769). D. 12-punctata (Fabr.).—Throughout the northern three- 
fourths of the State, but less common than in the North. At hand from 
Sanford, Dunedin and Ft. Myers, Dec.-Mch.; taken by sweeping golden- 
rod and other weeds in gardens. Gainesville, abundant the entire year 
(Wat.). 
*141 (15781). D. vineta Lec., 1878, 416.—Types from Capron, “Tampa 
and Orange Co., very rare” (Sz.). Enterprise (C. & L.); Ft. Myers (Wic.). 
Lake Okeechobee, rare on Ambrosia (Bl. 1914). Dunedin, Mch.-Apr.; on 
ferns in dense hammocks, and at porch light. 
*142 (15782). D. vittata (Fabr.)—Throughout the State, common in 
the northern and southern thirds, much less so in central one. Big Pine 
Key (Davis Coll.). Frequent in gardens at Canal Point and Moore Haven, 
Mch.-Apr. This is the “striped cucumber beetle,’ very injurious to cucurbs 
of all kinds; “also on satsumas” (Wat.). 
XXXVI. Phyllobrotica Redtenbacher. 
Medium sized, elongate-oval (5-6 mm.) black and yellow 
species, thorax transverse, impressed, tibiae without spurs. 
Usually found on marsh plants. 
*143 (15791). P. costipennis Horn, 1893, 99.—Types from Georgia and 
Florida. Crescent City (Sz. Ms.). Clearwater and Sanford (Wic.). Ft. 
Myers, Mch. 30 (Davis Coll.). Gainesville, in flat woods, July 4 (Wat.).
