The expedition to Java in 1909 by Bryant and Palmer was made 

 under the auspices of the United States National Museum, though 

 financed largely by Doctor Bryant. By agreement the material col- 

 lected was delivered to the Museum for determination by.specialists 

 associated with that institution, a set of duplicates to be returned to 

 Doctor Bryant. The following report is on that portion of the 

 insects collected belonging to the orders Dermaptera and Orthoptera. 



Order DERMAPTERA^ 

 Family ARIXENIIDAE 



ARIXENIA JACOBSONI Burr

Single specimen, a male much broken, of this aberrant earwig was 

 in the collection, taken at Pelaboean Ratoe. Unfortunately, it bears 

 no date or other information. 



Family FORFICULIDAE 

 Subfamily PYGroiCRANiNAE 



DIPLATYS NIGRICEPS Kirby 



Diplatys nigriceps Kirby, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., vol. 23, 1891, p. 507.

> The Dermaptera, with the exception of the family Arixeniidae and the forficnlid genera Labidura and 

 Platj/labia, were determined by Dr. Malcom Burr over a decade ago. and the subfamily grouping is as 

 arranged by him except that he gave family rank to the groups here used as subfamihes.
