THE MAMMOTH CAVE AND ITS INHABITANTS. 745 
cave, for though like all the rest of the insects they were found 
three or four miles from 
the mouth, yet they may 
be found to occur outside 
of its limits, as the eyes 
and the colors of the 
body are as bright as in 
other species. i 
Among the beetles, two 
species were found by 
Mr. Cooke. The Anop- 
thalmus Tellkampfii of 
Erichson, a Carabid (Fig. 
124), and Adelops hirtus 
Tellkampf (Fig. 125) al- 
lied to Catops, one of the 
Silphidæ or burying beetle family: The Anopthalmus is of a pale 
Fig. 124. reddish horn color, and is totally blind ; * 
in the Adelops, which is Fig. 123. 
greyish brown, there are two 
pale spots, which may be ru- 
dimentary eyes, as Tellkampf 
and Erichson suggest. No 
Hemiptera (bugs) have yet 
been found either in the caves 
of this country or Europe. Two wingless 
grasshoppers (sometimes called crickets) 
like the common species found 
under stones (R. maculata Har- 
ris), have been found in our 
caves; one is the Raphidophora 
subterranea (Fig. 126 nat. size) . 
described by Mr. Scudder, and 
very abundant in Mammot 
Cave. The other species is 2.
