Allotype 9 Florida, Sebastian, April 1934 (G. Nelson). 
This species was made for one male from Punta Gorda, 
Florida, identified by Mr. Banks as Sergiolus cyanoventris 
Simon. This latter species was made from a female also from 
Florida. The original description is very brief and it is very 
probable that the two species are the same. 
In 1891 Simon separated Herpyllus variegatus Hentz 
from the genus Poecilochroa because it lacked the thoracic 
groove and made for it the genus Sergiolus. Recently in ex- 
amining all adult specimens of that species in the museum 
collection, the groove has been found, sometimes very short 
and faint, but always present. It is not easy to understand 
how such an error arose as* Emerton figures the groove in 
his paper of 1890. In many of Chamberlin’s species de- 
scribed as Sergiolus the groove is very distinct. Chamberlin 
states that it is “questionable whether this genus, Sergiolus , 
can be maintained apart from Poecilchroa with which it 
agrees closely in most structural features.”
