 Brennus Gristatns Harr. 



One female that has the left antennal joints all greatly short- 

 ened and reduced to ten in nnmber, the terminal joint is so 

 mtich reduced that, in examining it through a magnifier, it is 

 but a little round knob. The other, or "right antenna," is 

 normal. This specimen came from the Belfrage collection and 

 was collected in the Santa Cruz Mountains, California. 



Sicaelus teter Bon. 



A male, captured sometime ago at Baldwin Station, that has 

 a well-developed, double foreleg, beginning at the joint of the 

 tibae, or knee, and extends to the tarsus. This false member 

 could not work independently, as it only shoots off below the 

 lower side of the joint. The tarsus joints are not fully formed.
