INSECTS OF THE SUBCLASS APTERYGOTA FROM 

 CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE WEST INDIES 



By J. W. FoLSOM 



Of the United States Bureau of Entomology 



This paper deals with the following forms : 

 Thtsanura. 



Lepidocampa zetehi^ new species. 

 Gastrotheus lepismoideus Folsom. 



COLLEMBOLA. 



Achorutes caecus^ new species. 



Pseudachorutes albipes^ new species. 



Folsomia -fimetaria (Linnaeus) Tullberg. 



Folsomidpnietaria (Linnaeus) Tullberg var. (i^fi^a.?^^, new variety. 



Entomohrya cubensis^ new species. 



Lepidocyrtus usitatus, new species. 



Lepidocyrtus nigrosetosus, new species. 



Lepidocyrtus summersi MacGillivray. 



Salma wolcotti, new species. 



CypJvoderus inaequalis, new species. 



Gyphoderus simdlis, new species. 



Cyphoderus pinnatus Folsom. 

 Though all these forms are of interest because almost nothing has 

 been published on the apterygotan fauna of Central Ainerica and 

 the West Indies, some of them are of special interest for other 

 reasons. Thus, Lepidocampa is a little known genus of generalized 

 structure, being essentially a Cam^podea with scales. Four species 

 of this paper are termitophilous. Three are cavernicolous. Two of 

 the new species, occurring on sugar cane, may be of economic 

 importance. 



Eight species were collected by J. Zetek and I. Molino, of the 

 Bureau of Entomology. Three forms were received from the Federal 

 Horticultural Board, by whose inspectors they had been intercepted. 

 Two species were collected in Porto Rico by G. N. Wolcott, ento- 

 mologist. The termitophilous species were transmitted to the writer 

 by Dr. T. E. Snyder, of the Bureau of Entomology.
