CASUAL EARWIGS. 



Four at least have been noticed in England :- 



Anisolabis maritima Boiielli. This earwig was found by T. J. 

 Bold near South Shields in 1856. It was taken in heaps of ballast 

 emptied by ships returning from abroad and was evidently an importa- 

 tion. Presumably it has disappeared, otherwise it would rank, as a 

 naturalised alien, with A. anmdipes and P. arachidis. In general 

 aspect it is somewhat like A. anmdipes, but it is rather larger and dark 

 brown in colour. It has also occurred in the Breweries at Burton, 

 probably imported with barrel-staves (E. Brown, fide F. Jourdain). 



Chelisoches morio Fabr. A pair came to Kew Gardens in sugar-cane 

 from Mauritius in August 1894. They are large black insects quite 

 distinct from any British species. (Figured in ' Entomologist,' March 

 1898.) 



Anechura lewisi Burr. In 1904 a single specimen, a male, was taken 

 amongst " sweepings " in St. John's Market, Liverpool. It is about 

 as large as F. auricularia, and resembles it in colour; but the much 

 bowed callipers at once distinguish it from the common British species. 

 (Figured in Entomologist,' May, 1910.) 



Doru lineare Eschsch. In June 1905. a single male of this Central 

 American species was taken in Liverpool Dock. The yellow lines 

 along elytra and wing-tips, and the long callipers with tooth near the 

 apex, make this also a distinct species. 



* In the Hope Collection at Oxford, there is one pair, old and in bad 

 conditions No locality is attached, but the specimens are probably some of 

 the original ones taken at Ashford by Westwood. Jn his handwriting they 

 are labelled " F. centralis, Westw., M.S." (Burr).
