192 ALBATROSS EXPLORATIONS, INSECTS HOWARD. 



Eburia amabilis Bohein., Eugen. Resa, 1859. 



Oue specimen of this elegant species was captured on Charles Island. 



Family CISTELID.E. 



Two specimens of a species of Allecula, probably new, from Charles 

 Island. 



Family TENEBRIONID.E. 



Stomion galapagoensis Waterh., Ann. Nat. Hist., 1845. 

 Stomion helopoides Waterh.., /. c. 



The series collected is sufficient to prove the identity of these two 

 species, and it is interesting to notice the same variability iu sculpture 

 that characterizes our western Teiiebrionidw. Thirteen specimens from 

 Charles Island and five from Chatham Island. 

 Ammophorus bifoveatus Waterh. 



One specimen from Charles Island. 



Family CURCULIONID.E. 



Three specimens of a form belonging to this family were collected on 

 Chatham Islaud. 



ORTHOPTERA. 

 Family FORFICULIDvE. 

 Anisolabis maritima? Bou. 



A single earwig, collected on Chatham Island, is doubtfully referred 

 to this species. It agrees more closely with A. azteca Dohrn. in general 

 color than it does with maritima, but in size it approaches more nearly 

 the latter. 



Family GRYLLID.E. 



A cricket of the genus Gryttus, of which there are eleven (immature 

 and mature) specimens, one collected on Albemarle Island, the others 

 on Chatham Island; bears a close resemblance to the common Gryllus 

 domesticus, if it is not that species. My material is scant in this group, 

 and especially in foreign forms; and not wishing to rely entirely upon 

 comparisons with descriptions in so difficult a group as this is, I have 

 hesitated to decide further. 



Family LOCUSTID.E. 



Bucrates? cocanus? Boliv. 



The species which is referred to the above-named genus and species 

 with doubt, is represented by a single very young larva. In addition 

 to its youth, it is alcoholic as well as somewhat mutilated. 

 Anaulocomera cornucervi ? Bruuner. 



There is also a pair of small katydids, one from Chatham Island and 

 one from Indefatigable Island, belonging to the genus Anaulocomera.
