Abstract
New host plant associations and distribution data are given for 45 species of Florida Chrysomelidae. Eleven species or subspecies are newly recorded from the state: Babia quadriguttata (Olivier), Cryptocephalus mutabilis Melsheimer, Diachus chlorizans (Suffrian), Brachypnoea puncticollis (Say) [new combination]; Brachypnoea clypealis (Horn) [new combination], Glyptoscelis albicans Baly, Metachroma zayasi Blake, Microtheca picea (Guerin), Disonycha alternata (Illiger), Disonycha d. discoidea (Fabricius), Disonycha d. abbreviata Melsheimer). Metachroma zayasi Blake represents a new U.S. record. Spintherophyta igneicollis (Baly) is removed from the Florida fauna list.
