is subsulcatus with the elytra smoother than usual and may also be bridged 
by intermediate forms. 
The Floridian species of Pasimachus may be separated by the following 
table based on Casey’s: 
Hind body short, generally but very little longer than wide; 
Elytra conjointly broadly and obtusely rounded; humeral carina very short; 
hind tibize with sparse hairs within in both sexes; form stout, parallel, convex,

Elytra obliquely and obtusely pointed behind; 
Body larger, humeral carina very short, 29.5-34 mm............. strenuus. 
Body smaller, humeral carina long, evenly contiguous with the inner lateral 
ridge; 
Entire surface of elytra deeply, almost evenly sulecate, 20-22 mm.

Scarites subterraneus Fabricius. St. Augustine, Enterprise, Jackson- 
ville, Crescent City, Indian River, Key West, common (Schwarz); Biscayne 
Bay (Slosson); Ormond (Blatchley); Enterprise (Brownell); Fort Myers, 
Everglade, La Grange, Lake Okeechobee and Pablo Beach (Davis); Sebas- 
tian (Genung); January, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, 
November. At light and burrowing in the soil. Extends northward and 
westward, but seems absent from the southwest. Mobile, Baldwin and 
Lee Co., Ala (Léding). 
Scarites subterraneus subsp. substriatus Haldeman. St. Augustine, 
Lake Worth, Tampa (Schwarz); Sarasota, Fort Myers, March | to March 10, 
under logs in sandy woods (Blatchley, Slosson Coll.); Fort Myers (Davis); 
January-March, April. At light and under boards and rubbish at edge of 
pond. Occurs in southern and middle states, less abundant than preceding. 
Mobile Co., Ala (Léding) , 
Scarites subterraneus var. californicus Leconte. Cedar Keys, very 
rare on the sea beach (Schwarz); Hillsboro Co., Jan. 23, beneath logs half 
buried in beach sand (Blatchley). According to Schaeffer (Bull. Br. Ent. 
Soc. VIII, 123) occurs in Texas, southern California, Arizona, Lower Califor- 
nia, Mexico. “Smaller than subterraneus, much more shining and with the 
strie of elytra almost obliterated ” (Blatchley). A specimen approaching 
the characters of this variety was found by Davis on Big Pine Key, Sep- 
tember 9. | 
-Scarites alternans Chaudoir. Chokoloskee (?) Schaeffer. The 
accuracy of the locality label is open to grave doubt on account of the num- 
ber of Cuban species received from the same source.
