1. Anaplecta lateralis BuniJ. 



A single specimen of this little cockroach was taken in the 

 -•deep woods'' in the neigliborhood of Castillo. It is pretty 

 well distributed over the warmer portions of America, both 

 North and Soutii. but nowhere seems to be abundant. 



2. Beatta i;i\rrTA'r a /ynniiicr. 



I have placed a single specimen that was taken in the vicin-

 and Central America.
