Remarks. These specimens were collected in part by hand-digging, and in large part by a vibrational technique known as “grunting” ( Mitra et al. 2009), whereby a wooden stake is driven into the ground and caused to vibrate with a piece of smooth metal. Several members of the genus Diplocardia exhibit an evacuation to the soil surface in response to this stimulus, and while this behavior is not unique to the genus, it is remarkable that an entire fish-bait industry is sustained by this activity in parts of Florida ( Hendrix et al. 1994).
