Vot. II, Pr. II] HEBARD—DERMAPTERA AND ORTHOPTERA 337 
McNeill’s figure of a female of this species is sketchy 
throughout. In particular, the lateral lobes of the pronotum 
are not sufficiently deep, the angles are too sharp, the curvature 
of the margins overlooked, particularly the very slight but ap- 
parent concavity at the humeral sinus. 
Length of body ¢ 13.5, 2 14.5; length of pronotum ¢ 3.9, 
? 4.9; length of tegmen ¢ 6.8, 27.7; length of caudal femur 
6 12.4, 2 15.8; greatest width of caudal femur ¢ 2.4, 2 2.9; 
length of ovipositor 10.2 mm. |

This variable species appears to be the cause of a large por- 
tion of the confusion and synonymy evident in the literature 
covering the American species of the genus. The synonyms 
obtusus Burmeister and dissimilis Serville have long been estab- 
lished. We have also added mexicanus Saussure, fusco-striatus 
Redtenbacher and variety tibialis Karny to the present 
synonymy”. 
In determining the Galapagos species, we have gone over the 
literature and extensive series of ‘the genus from Colombia, 
Panama, Central America, the West Indies, and North 
America. We have found that the Galapagos species is triops 
beyond question, as recognized by us, and we consequently add 
insulanus Scudder and imsularum Karny to the present 
synonymy. 
‘Moreover, it is clear from the several hundred specimens of 
triops now before us, that this species develops several dis- 
tinctive color phases, is very widely distributed through North
