OF WASHINGTON. 85 
following remarks apply only to genera or species found in 
our own country. 
Labidura riparia Pall. The habitat of this species should 
include localities in the new world. The variety erythroce- 
pkala, however, is recorded from the West Indies and the 
author may refer all the new world specimens to that form. 
Anisolabis annulipes Luc. A. bormansi Scudd., azteca Dohrn 
and probably also antennata Kirby should have been quoted 
as synonyms of this species. Bormans placed antennata as 
synonymous with azteca, bormansi was established as synony- 
mous with annulipes by McNeill, and I have shown azteca and 
bormansi to be synonymous. However these are opinions and 
each worker is at liberty to follow his own belief. 
Sphingolabis taeniata Dohrn. S". linearis Eschscholtz is quite 
certainly the same as this and has priority by some years 
and should take precedence. 
Ischnoptera uhleriana Sauss. /. unicolor and lithophila of 
Scudder are both synonyms of uhleriana, so admitted by their 
describer. 
Temnopteryx mrginica Sauss. This is listed as distinct 
though it has been proved by breeding that it is the female 
of Ischnoptera uhleriana. 
Phyllodromia Serv. Though Mr. Kirby knew this to be 
preoccupied he still uses it as valid, citing Blattella and Liosil- 
pha as synonyms . This is done, however, as he wrote me, because 
of lack of time to determine whether Liosilpha or Blattella 
should be used in the place of it. The probability is that 
they may both be retained, depending upon whether or not 
germanica and pumicata, their respective types, are congeneric. 
Phyllodromia germanica Linn. Blatta obliquata Dold. and 
Ischnoptera bimttata Thorn, should be placed as synonyms of 
this species. Instead, the former is omitted altogether and 
the latter is listed as a distinct species. 
Phyllodromia bimttata Serv. I very much doubt the dis- 
tinctness of this species. It is certainly no more than a 
variety of germanica. 
Phyllodromia borealis Sauss. This is, according to Blatchley, 
the female of Isch. pennsylvanica Deg. 
Temnopteryx marginata Scudd. This species, which is also 
a synonym of I. pennsylvanica, is omitted from the cata- 
logue. 
Temnopteryx major Sauss. This belongs to the genus 
Ischnoptera. 
Loboptera americana Scudd. The original reference is 
wrongly given, the correct citation being Proc. Davenp. Acad. 
Nat. Sc., viii, p. 93, pi. ii, fig. 4 (1899).
