DIPLURINJE 



Diplura macrura (C. Koch) is spoken of by Simon as confined to 

 f St. Jolin. Banks records it from Pihar del Eio, Cuba, under the name 

 of Ischnothele. The remaining members of the genus are from South 

 America and three closely related genera are confined to that continent. 

 Two other genera are found in South America and also in Madagascar 

 and Australia, one of them reaching even parts of Asia and Africa. 



Ischnothele digitata (Cambridge) is recorded from Mexico and f Gua- 

 temala. It is said to live "in holes in the ground, near which it makes 

 small, strong, irregular webs, consisting of various floors or chambers." 

 Mr. Grossbeck took it near Cinchona, Jamaica, under a rotten log. In 

 America the genus is reported from Mexico to Bolivia and also in the 

 Bahamas. Either it or a closety related genus, Thelechoris, is found also 

 m Madagascar, East Africa and India. Of the group of genera to which 

 it belongs, another is American, two are confined to Australia, one to 

 INTew Zealand, one to Xew Caledonia, one to the Trans-Caspian region, 

 and one is found in Spain, Malasia and New Zealand. 



Although AccoJa is not known in the Greater Antilles, its distribution 

 is worth mentioning, namely, St. Vincent, Venezuela and the Philippines. 

 A closely related genus is confined to the Fiji Islands. 



Atypidffi is a small family which ranges over much of the warmer 

 portions of the northern hemisphere and is even found in Argentine and 

 ]\Ialasia. It is not known from the Antilles.

The Hypochilida' are undoubtedly Araneas Vera? but they differ from 

 other members of this suborder and agree with the Theraphosfp in the 



2 The speHini? throughout this papor (Proc. U. S. Nat. Museum, XXIV. 1002) is 

 "Utado." Doubtless the place now known as Utuado is meant. 



3 This and the Porto Kican records are given by Banks under the name of Schiznpelma 

 erichsonii (Latreille).
