extended reaching beyond the body, the denies furrowed below and 

 bearing about ten, stout, long hairs on each margin. On the under surface 

 of the dentes, near the base of the mucrones, is a stout bristle which is 

 swollen in the basal half and extends to about three-fourths the length of 

 the mucrone. On the dorsal side near the base of the mucrones are a few 

 stout curved hairs. Mucrones oblong in outline with a median and dorsal 

 ridge, the under edge thin and without teeth. 

 Total length about i mm. 



Found in May under boards where it had hibernated. Orono, 

 May, 1898, F. L. Harvey. 



Remarks. This species is related to S. arralis Fitch and 

 S. fttchii Folsom, but differs in the antennal sub-joints as well 

 as in the claws. It has been called S. brunneus on account of 

 the broad brown band on the back. The figures are camera 

 lucicla drawings made by the writer. 



Genus? sp. ? (PI. xv, fig. 5). 



Description. White, washed with pale blue. Eye patches prominent, 

 black, connected by a narrow band. Eight ocelli on each side of the head. 

 Antennae apparently four jointed, pale blue throughout, darker than the 

 body, nearly twice as long as the head, very stout, ratio of the joints, 2 : 

 3 : 6 : n. The terminal joint broad, about as long as the other three 

 together, annulated by about twelve rings, armed with short hairs. 



Claws large and stout for the size, without teeth, a single tenent hair 

 bulbous at the end. Elater and mucrones much as in Teinpletonia. 

 Length .6 mm. 



A small, stout, active species found in celery stored in the 

 cellar, Orono, Maine, January, 1890, F. L. Harvey. 



Remarks. We have seen only two specimens of this remark- 

 able form. They were examined alive and finally one specimen 

 was preserved in balsam. We had hoped to find more, but have 

 notj and so record our notes, thinking they will be interesting, 

 and wait for more specimens before placing the species definitely. 



The ringed terminal joint of the antennae would suggest Tc>f>- 

 Ictonia, but as species of Tcmplctonia are now known without an- 

 nulated antenna. 1 , there is no reason why a species of some other 

 genus, ordinarily with plain antenna?, may not have them ringed. 

 The four joints to the antennae we think would exclude this form 

 .from Tctnplctonia. The prominent eye patches, eight ocelli and 

 their arrangement, and the presence of scales would suggest /.< -
