Tribe CYCHRINI. 
Scaphinotus elevatus var. floridanus n. var. A single specimen 
which passed from the Schaupp collection into that of Luetgens and then 
into the collection of the writer under the name of elevatus, formed the basis 
for crediting that species to Florida in Bull. Br. Ent. Soc. I, p. 34, and per- 
haps even for Roeschke’s mention of northern Florida as the southern limit 
for that species. It differs, however, from elevatus in size and in the greatly 
thickened margin of the thorax and coarse punctures of the disk and may 
be described as follows: 
Size and form similar to that of S. elevatus, variety flammeus, broader and shorter 
than in variety tenebricosus; color dark, almost black with faint bluish lustre. Tho- 
rax broader than long, with hind angles produced far over the elytra, and side margins 
elevated, but less so than in elevatus, the bead greatly thickened and the disk strongly 
punctate, the coarse moderately closely placed punctures arranged in two curved 
spaces on either side of a smooth central space (divided only by a deeply impressed 
median line) which broaden and unite a little in front of the base. Elytra similar 
to those of elevatus variety flammeus, broad and but slightly convex on disk, and with | 
the side margin less elevated at humerus than in typical elevatus. In the male the 
tip of the first tarsal joint and the whole of the second, third and fourth joints beneath 
are spongy pubescent. Length, 21mm. oc’. @ unknown. 
The thoracic punctuation is similar to that of S. shoemakeri; but, 
although the present is a smaller insect, the punctate area is much greater 
and the punctures deeper; the sinuation of the elytral margin, character- 
istic of shoemakeri is not even faintly indicated. 
A Scaphinotus believed to be the true unicolor Fab. is taken by Mr. 
Léding at Mt. Vernon, Ala. It lacks both the thickened thoracic bead and 
discal punctures characteristic of floridanus.
