REPORT ON DJPLURA AND THYSANURA 



By F. Silvestri 



(Reckivkd Fedruary 16, 1935) 



The Diplura of the Yale Nnrth linha Kxpeditiun were not cnlkcted at very high alti- 

 tudes, the highest locality being at 2159 m. in the Nilgiri Hills, where Indjapyx Harrisoni 

 was obtained. Regarding the vertical distribution of this order, Mr. Hutchinson kindly 

 wrote to me that "No Caiiipodeidac could be found in Ladak, in spite of considerable search 

 being made." Some of the Thysanura on the other hand, such as Ctenolepisma sp. and 

 Machilanus Hutchinsoni, found at 5315 m., were collected at very high altitudes in Indian 

 Tibet. 



DIPLURA 



Family CAMPODEIDAE 



Lcpidocampa Weberi Oud. 



A few specimens of this species, which is very widely distributed throughout central 

 and south Asia, and in the Oriental Islands, such as Japan and the Philippines, were col- 

 lected at (K 55) Kangan, Kashnn'r, 1810 m., under rotten wood and earth, 16 May 1932, 

 and a single specimen at (K2) Takht-i-Sulaiman, Srinagar, 1645 ni., 20 March 1932.
