Eruchide. 
(33) Pea Weevil (Bruchus pisorum L. [pisi L.] ).—Noticed only in exhibits of 
Turkey, Brazil, and Utah. Said to occur wherever the pea is cultivated. 
(34) European Bean Weevil (Bruchus rufimanus Boh.)—the Bruchus granarius L. 
of many writers—occurred in most exhibits of large ‘‘broad” or Windsor beans, 
including those of Spain, Italy, Algeria, and Tunis. Although this species has fre- 
quently been brought here it has probably not obtained permanent footing in the 
United States. 
(35) Common Bean Weevil (Bruchus obtectus Say).—The most formidable enemy 
of cultivated beans in North America. Beans damaged by this species were seen in 
the exhibits of Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, Spain, Indo-China, etc. 
(36) Lentil Weevil (Bruchus lentis Boh).—In lentils from Spain and Turkey. 
Tas been reported from New York, but not known to have become introduced here. 
(37) Bruchus 4-maculatus Fab.—Swarmed in beans from Brazil and Venezuela. 
Common in our more Southern States. 
(38) Bruchus chinensis L. (scutellaris Fab.).—Breeding in profusion in bean exhib- 
its of Japan and Porto Rico. Known in this country, but not yet widely distributed. 
(39) Bruchus chinensis variety.—A small form of the preceding; in cultivated 
legumes from Ceylon. 
(40) Bruchus sp.—A small species somewhat like the preceding; in cultivated 
beans from Brazil. Probably new and injurious, but no living specimens noticed. 
(41) Bruchus sp.—A broad, reddish-brown species resembling in markings B. 
obtectus, in ‘‘ pigeon peas” from Trinidad. This species is also liable to be injurious, 
but was not found living. 
(42) Bruchus sp.—In wild legume from Costa Rica. | 
(43) Bruchus sp. —From seeds of Annatto from Paraguay and Venezuela | 
(44) Bruchus sp.—In seed pods of Divi-divi from Curagao. | 
(45) Bruchus sp.—In wild legume from Argentine Republic. 
(46) Bruchus sp.—Bred from Enterolobium pods from Paraguay. 
(47) Bruchus sp.—Bred from wild legume from Brazil. 
(48) Caryoborus sp.—In vegetable ivory from Ecuador. 
None of the seven species last mentioned are likely to be of economic importance 
in this country. 
(49) Spermophagus (Zabrotes) sp.—A form resembling our native species; breeding 
in the greatest abundance in cultivated beans in the exhibits of Guatemala, Brazil, 
and Mexico. Likely to be introduced, and without doubt a dangerous species. 
Tenebrionide. 
(50) Tenebrio sp.—A living larva of this genus, probably either T. molitor L. or 
T. obscurus Fab., our common ‘‘meal worms,”’ was found in corn in the Guatemala 
Building. 
(51) Tribolium ferrugineum Fab.—Occurred in the cereal exhibits of most of the 
countries of tropical and subtropical America, Asia, and Africa, ranking in abun- 
dance with the Rice Weevil and Angoumois Grain Moth. Common also in Europe, 
and well distributed over this country, where it is sometimes called ‘‘ flour-weevil,” 
and is often injurious to grain, meal, flour, and a great variety of other products. 
(52) Tribolium confusum Duval.—Occurred in Annatto from Liberia. The same 
form occurs in the United States, where it has been generally confused with the pre- 
ceding, from which it differs chiefly in the form of the antenne. 
(53) Palorus melinus Hbst. (depressus Fab.)—In meal from Brazil. Although not 
recorded in Henshaw’s List, a series of this species in the National Museum shows 
that it is probably entitled to a place in the list of introduced species. 
(54) Gnathocerus cornutus Thunb.—Occurred in the Brazilian exhibit in flour. It 
is said to be cosmopolitan but is recorded only from the Pacific coast of North 
America.
