THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 377 



March 26, 1895. Several specimens in alcohol together with 

 worker of the termite collected at the above date, also one speci- 

 men dry on triangle point, collected March 4, '95, from the same 

 log. The resemblance to a young termite is perfect, especially in 

 mature specimens like that mounted dry. The psocid is, however, 

 much more active than the termite and very difficult to capture. 

 Immature specimens were not rare, and I took a large number but 

 lost most of them with the vial that contained them. The im- 

 mature specimens inhabit the galleries of the termites, but are not 

 so apt to be found among the termites themselves as in their 

 immediate vicinity. No. 244 Microcpytiis testaceus was taken 

 from this log at the same time.

"In the spring of 1896 I visited this log and found the vial 

 with specimens lost the previous year. These are in separate 

 vial (ale) numbered 24Y^. The termites from this same collecting 

 vial are in a separate vial and numbered 707." 



The lost vial mentioned in this note has again been lost track 

 of and its whereabouts is at the present time unknown. 



The recently acquired material was taken in Florida by Mr. 

 T. E. Snyder, who has kindly furnished the following field note 

 regarding them : 



"15290^ Miami Beach, Fla., April 10, 1918. Inquilines? 

 With termite in decayed red mangrove log; with termite and in 

 adjacent wood. Very much more active than the termite." 



The above material, ten specimens in all, four from Hubbard 

 and six from Snyder, forms the basis for the following description: 



Zorotypus hubbardi, new species. 



General habitus very like that of a termite. Entire insect 

 beset with stout, inclined bristle-like hairs, those on the dorsal 

 surface of the abdomen directed backwards and mostly arranged 

 in two transverse rows on each segment, one post-mesial and one 

 at the posterior margin. A few of these bristles towards the 

 end of the abdomen are sometimes quite long, almost as long as 

 the basal segment of the antenna, but for the most part they are 

 less than one-half that long and those of the sides and especially 

 on the venter of the abdomen are very small and short. These
