Chatham Island,*! female, Exitlorations U. S. Fish Commission, 1888. 



This species differs from A. maritima Bon., to which it was at first referred 

 by Bruner (but witii doubt), in the much shorter antennae with fewer joints and 

 different (loloriiig, the banding of the logs, the presence of a lateral carina on 

 the last abdominal segment, and the somewhat stouter forceps. It seems to be 

 more nearly allied to the group of species of Anisolabis found in Western 

 America, — A. azteca, A. annulicornis, A. antoni, etc., — in which the antennae 

 have some of the subapical joints of a strikingly different color from the rest.

This species was first recorded by Butler from Charles Island i subsequently 

 by Bruner fi'om Chatham Island, but one of the specimens in the National 

 Museum is marked from Charles Island. Explorations U. S. Fish Commis-

The three specimens fi'om Chatham Island referred by Bruner to A^ Inriffafa 

 Brunn. (a synonym of the above) undoubtedly belong here. I notice in all of 

 them, as in a specimen from Maz.it Ian in my collection, that the dark band 

 between the eyes is not only broader, but also more deeply colored, than that 

 between the antennae, a point which the various descriptions of this species do 

 not appear to mention. Explorations U. S. Fish Commission, 1888.
