width at apex of pronotum 1.16 mm.; length of pronotum 
at midline 0.76 mm. Length from base of prosternum to 
apex of coxal lamina 1.48 mm. Width between eyes 0.78 mm. 
Variation : Paratypes differ somewhat from the types 
in coloration and in the coarseness of punctation. The 
punctation of the pronotum in some is coarser, in others 
finer than in the types. 
Type locality : Holotype and allotype from : Florida : 
Alachua County, Lake Newman east of Gainesville, Sept. 
27, 1939 F. N. Young. Paratypes from: Florida: Alachua 
County, Bivan’s Arm of Payne Prairie south of Gainesville,

Location of types : Holotype, allotype and two female 
paratypes are in the University of Michigan, Museum of 
Zoology, Ann Arbor. One male paratype is in the collection 
of Ellis Lanquist at the Department of Biology, University 
of Florida, Gainesville. One female paratype is in the col- 
lection of H. B. Leech at the California Academy of Sci- 
ences, and another in the W. S. Blatchley collection at

The Copelatus recorded by Blatchley from Florida 
(see above) represents a species resembling, but very dis-

leaves about 200 yards from tidal pools near the cemetery 
at Key West. He surmises that the species may be a
