the division into two parts, and the claws, which are in Molanna short 

 and divided at their end into iine bristles, in Molannodps end in a 

 fine long bristle, and bear numerous short hairs. The branchiae of 

 the young larvae are in twos only (in Molanna in threes and fours). 

 The 1st and 2nd tibiae are prolonged on the inner edge into conical 

 processes, each bearing on its tip a strong bristle. These processes 

 are especially large on the middle tibiae. 



Also the habits of the larvae are very similar to those of the above 

 named genus. I have collected them in a clear brook, but only near 

 its entrance into the river T. Orlice, in places where the bottom is 

 covered with fine sand, and where the water runs rather quietly. The 

 larva moves slowly by fits and starts on the bottom, and one must be 

 very attentive in order to see and catch them. The case is a very 

 interesting instance of protective form and colour. 



The figures show a larva case and a transverse section of same, 

 both X 6.

ANISOLABIS ANNULIPES, LUC, AT TAVISTOCK; AN EARWIG 

 UNRECORDED FOR BRITAIN. 



BY HAROLD SWALE, M.B. 



After reading the " Entomology of a London Bakehouse" in the 

 April number of the Ent. Mo. Mag., I paid a visit to the oldest 

 bakehouse here to try and get some specimens. 



In Coleoptera I found only one example of Tenehrio molitor ; but 

 among the ashes under the furnace were great numbers of an earwig, 

 different in appearance to any I had seen before. I took home several, 

 and made out that it was a species of Anisolahis. Mr. Saunders, to 

 whom a specimen was sent, refers the earwig to Anisolahis annuUpes, 

 Lucas. The bakers say they have always seen them there, so they 

 must have arrived in the bakery many years ago. 



It is easily distinguished by the 12th and 13th antennal joints 

 being white, the rest brown, and by the dark ring round the femora 

 of the otherwise testaceous legs.

[This species has been found in several Mediterranean localities, 

 and commonly in the Island of Madeira. How it obtained a footing 

 in an inland town in Devonshire we leave to the conjecture of local 



entomologists. — Ed. Saund.].
