southern Florida during June, 1949, but search in the period from 
January to May might reveal them. The largest “colony” found 
beside the one near Interlachen was near Belleview in Marion 
County. Several hundred “throwups” were found there in deep 
Lakeland sand supporting the Quercus laevis-Pinus palustris as- 
socies. Typical “throwups” were also found in the “Big Scrub” 
south of the Oklawaha River, but no beetles were taken. 
Florida counties from which records were established are: Gil- 
christ (2 localities), Levy (2 localities), Alachua (2 localities, also 
records by T. H. Hubbell), Putnam [3 localities, also Welaka (A. F. 
Van Pelt and J. C. Moore), and north of Palatka (H. K. Wallace)], 
Volusia (1 locality), Marion (2 localities), and Hernando (1 lo- 
cality.) All of these localities were in areas of Pinus clausa-Ceratiola 
ericoides associes or Quercus laevis-Pinus palustris associes. In 
nearly all cases they were associated with mounds of pocket gophers 
( Geomys spp.) and the gopher tortoise ( Gopherus polyphemus ). 
All specimens are in the collection of the University of Michigan 
Museum of Zoology, Ann Arbor, Michigan. 
Chalepus bicolor Oliv. (Coleoptera). — This species has not 
been listed north of Connecticut but I took one here on June 19, 
1942, by sweeping. About a dozen were taken here on August 2 and 
10, 1947, on Panicum scribnerianum Nash. The determination of 
this grass was obtained through the kindness of Dr. I. M. Johnston 
of the Arnold Arboretum. Another specimen of the beetle was 
obtained by sweeping in the Quabbin Reservation in Ware, Mass., 
June 26, 1947. My other specimens are from South Carolina, In- 
diana, Florida and Connecticut. — C. A. Frost, Framingham, Mass.
