Wingless Cockroach. (Subfamily, Panestrina?, t. A. N. Caudell.) 



Head small ; body obovate, widest behind the middle, abdomen 

 about 3 times width of head; total length, 16 mm ; breadth of head, 

 3.25 mm ; of abdomen, 10 mm . Color, above, dark brown, smooth and 

 lustrous as if varnished back to 4th abdominal segment, beyond 

 which it is dull blackish brown ; integument very firm, minutely 

 punctate ; under side and legs light chestnut-brown ; head deeper 

 chestnut ; mouth-parts, anterior border of clypeus, and base of 

 antenna? brownish yellow ; vertex of head with an ill-defined 

 chestnut-brown patch. The tarsi are broken, so that the species is 

 indeterminable. St. George's, Oct., L. Mowbray. 



Phyttodromia {?), sp. 



A nymph obtained in April is doubtfully referred to this genus by 

 Mr. Caudell. It is chestnut-brown ; lateral marginal streak on the 

 thorax and abdomen, sutures, and middle of prothorax paler; 

 length, 19 mm ; breadth, 7.5 mm . 



n. — Dermaptera. (Earwigs.) 



Great Sea-side Earwig. (Labidura riparia (Pallas) Dohrn = L. 

 gigantea (Fabr.) Fisch.) Figure 202. 



This, which is perhaps the largest species known, is not uncom- 

 mon here, occurring among debris along the shores, and also in store- 

 houses. It is very widely distributed in the warmer parts of both 

 hemispheres, including Europe and the southern United States. 



Black Sea-side Earwig. (Anisolabis maritima Fieb.; Scudder, 1876 

 ■=Forcinella maritima Scudder, in Jones.) Plate C ; figures 

 6-9. 



This large, widely distributed species is common under decaying 

 debris and stones at high -tide mark. It may have been indigenous 

 here. It is found in the same way on the American coast, as far 

 north as the Thimble Islands, near New Haven, Conn., where I have 

 found it abundant in recent years.* West Indies ; Brazil ; Japan ; 

 Europe ; and coasts of most warm countries. 



* It seemed possible at first that this earwig was accidentally introduced into 

 these islands by me, in 1898, for my dredges, nets, ropes, etc., were sent 

 directly to Outer Island, on my return from Bermuda that year, without being 

 unpacked in New Haven. 



I had not noticed them previous to 1900; but on the other hand I had not
