under the genus Euproctis, though he evidently recognized it 

 was not a Liparid but a Cochlidian. He briefly mentions the 

 larva as whitish green, furnished with fleshy prolongations. Ob 

 viously it resembles the larvae of Alarodia and Isochcetes as 

 would be expected. 



$ antennae bipectinated to the tip, the pectinations decreasing out 

 wardly; head subprominent, palpi curved, slender, just to the frontal 

 tuft; front trigonate, narrowed below, smooth with the erect hairs of tuft 

 centrally. Legs long, hairy ; four spurs. Fore wings with costa straight, 

 veins 2 and 3 separate, cell with short-forked open discal vein, 7 from 

 apex of cell, 8 to 10 stalked; hind wings with 6 and 7 at apex of cell, 8 

 anastomosing at base. Form large and robust, otherwise as in Alarodia. 



Mr. Caudell exhibited a living male specimen of the rare 

 cockroach Temnopteryx deropeltiformis Brunner. He reared 

 this roach from a larva taken last fall at Falls Church, Virginia. 

 There are known to him but two other instances of the capture 

 of this species east of Indiana a (j> taken by Mr. Jacob Kotinsky 

 at Washington, D. C., two years ago, and another ? taken by 

 Mr. Nathan Banks at Falls Church, Virginia, one year later. 

 Wasmann* records this as a myrmecophilous insect, his record 

 being based on specimens sent him by Mr. T. Pergande and col 

 lected under stones at Cabin John Bridge, Maryland. Not long ago 

 Mr. Caudell visited this locality with Mr. Pergande and under 

 stones in exactly similar situations found specimens which Mr. 

 Pergande pronounced the same as those sent to Wasmann. These 

 were nymphs and, on maturing, proved to be Ischnoptera uhler- 

 iana Saussure. Mr. Caudell stated that he had no doubt that 

 the specimens sent Wasmann are this species and not Temnop 

 teryx. The specimens of T. deropeltiformis were taken in 

 decaying wood, and Mr. Caudell said he did not believe that 

 Temnopteryx had been found in ants' nests. He added that 

 there are, in the National Museum, specimens of this species 

 from Texas. 



Mr. Caudell mentioned, also, another cockroach new to the 

 vicinity of Washington Ischnoptera intricata, recently de-
