(26) Glyphodes indica, Saund. 

 Not abundant. 



Pterophoeid^. 



(27) A brownish coloured Plume is very common in all 

 the islands. The larva feeds on Bocrhavia cliffasa, W., which 

 grows everywhere in the atoll. 



TiNEINA. 



(28) The solitary species collected was a very common 

 one ; there are probably at least two others that are distinct. 



There are therefore practically thirty species of Heterocera 

 on the Cocos-Keeling atoll, and there are more than twice as 

 many species in the fauna of Christmas Island ; yet only five, 

 very widely distributed species, are common to the two places. 



HYMENOPTERA. 



Species determined by the late Col. C. T. Bingham, F.Z.S. 



FORMICID.<E. 



(Native family name, Samuf.) 



(1) Odontomachus h^matodes, Linn. ? . 



(2) Plagiolepis longipes, Jerdon. $ . 

 Unfortunately this does not represent the whole of the 



species of ants found on the atoll. The natives distino-uish 

 at least three species: (1) Samut saman ; (2) Samuf arpi ; 

 (3) Bamut alus. The other representatives of the family are 

 unfortunately mislaid. 



FOSSORES. 



(3) Stizus, sp. (very near reversus, Smith). $ . 



(4) PisoN HOSPES, Smith. ^ .
