50 Lawrence W. Powers Remarks: Rathbun (1925) commented on the likelihood that the female type of T. granulosus was conspecific with the males of T. simplex^ the only known specimens of these two species. Chace (1940) synonymized the two names on the basis of a male T. gi-anulosus taken off Cuba. He also noted that distinctions in individual specimens are attributable to age variation as well as sexual dimorphism. Temnonolus simplex A. Milne Edwards, 1875 Synonj^m of T. granulosus A. Milne Edwards, as revised by Chace (1940). Subfamily MITHRACINAEBalss, 1929 (sensu Garth, 1958). (This subfamily consists of Mithracinae Balss, 1929 plus Macrocoelominae Balss, 1929, derived from the Majinae Periceroida of Alcock, 1895. Glaessner treats the genera of this group under the subfamily Majinae Samouelle, 1819.) Coelocerus A. Milne Edwards, 1875 Coelocerus spinosus A. Milne Edwards, 1875 (Crust Reg.

Ovigerous females were listed from North Carolina in August and from Florida in January to March. Wass (1955) and Menzel (1971) list this species from northwest Florida and Lyons et al. (1971) state that it is ovigerous in April, June, and October at Crystal River, Florida. Macrocoelonia diplacanlhutn (Stimpson, 1860) (Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist. New York 7: 183) Rathbun, 1925, p. 478, pi. 169, fig. I, pi. 269, figs. 1-3; Rathbun, 1933, p. 36.
