almost exactly as are the males of the paler form, and the 

 single male has nearly the whole lower surface including the 

 face and legs, most of the tergtim and the whole apex of the 

 elytra black. I cannot see that these differ structurally from 

 elongatus of which they are perhaps a dimorphic form. 



211. Megamelanus spartini Osborn ? 



I took at St. Petersburg one male that I place here with 

 some hesitation. It is deep shining black with the vertex, disk 

 of the pronotum and scutellum between the lateral carinse, the 

 second joint of the antennae, legs, surface about their insertion, 

 and a spot on the base of the tergum, pale yellowish. The 

 commissural margin unevenly and a large spot at the apex of 

 the costal areole of the elytra white. This white commis- 

 ural margin is enlarged to a round spot at the apex of the 

 clavus opposite to the costal spot. These markings are quite 

 similar to those described by Prof. Osborn for the male of 

 spartini, but the vertex is distinctly longer and the front is 

 narrower and less swollen than in my only specimen of spartini, 

 which is a female. Further material is needed to connect the 

 present specimen with spartini. 



212. Megamelus marginatus Van Duzee. 



At Estero I took two females of this species in which the 

 frontal carina? are margined with brown only at the apex of 

 the head. Although not really brachypterous the elytra of 

 these specimens are decidedly shorter than in the fully winged 

 form. 



213. Peregrinus maidis Ashmead. 



Estero; four examples. This species certainly was not 

 common when I was in Florida as I looked carefully for it and 

 found but these specimens. 



214. Macrotomella carinata Van Duzee. 



Crescent City and Ft. Myers; two examples. I took this 

 species in Jamaica and described both the genus and species in 

 my report on that collection. This is its first recorded occur- 

 rence in the United States.
