front and very finely reticulate behind, nearly quadrate, the hinder 

 edge rounded ; a central groove on the front half, on each side of 

 which is a slight elevation ; tegmina nearly smooth, broader than 

 the thorax, and 1^ times as long as broad; projecting portion of 

 the wings rather narrow, sparingly punctate, about one-third as 

 long as the tegmina, and very slightly tipped with pale testaceous ; 

 femora slightly thickened; tarsi, and sometimes the extreme tips 

 of the tibiae, ferruginous ; abdomen thickly and finely punctured, 

 the hinder margins of the segments appearing as if milled. Under- 

 surface more inclining to pitchy. Forceps nearly as long as the 

 abdomen, moderately broad, more or less punctured, and incurved 

 at the extremity ; in the male with a tooth at the base, and 

 another, preceded by two or three small denticulations, at two- 

 thirds of the length. 



"Several specimens obtained October ord, 1887 (Lister). This 

 species appears to be the common earwig of the island. It has 

 considerable external resemblance to CheUsoches morio, Fabr., from 

 which the structure of its legs and the unicolorous antennae will 

 at once distinguish it." 



Three males, one from JTorth Coast, December, 1897, and one 

 female, April, 1898 (Andrews). 



2. Platylabia dimidiata (?). 



Flatylahia dimidiata, Dohrn: Stett. ent. Zeit., xxviii, p. 348 (1867). 



A single damaged specimen, agreeing approximately with the 

 description of P. dimidiata ; but in the absence of specimens of the 

 latter from Luzon (from whence the types were received), it is 

 impossible to be sure of the identification. 



3. Anisolabis stall. 



Forcinella stall, Dohrn: Stett. ent. Zeit., ixv, p. 286 (1864). 



Three specimens (from "North Coast, Dec, 1897"), apparently 

 belonging to this Javanese species.
