* These insects were common in the cave at Malololelei, and a number of specimens were 

 obtained besides those submitted to Dr. Chopard ; they lived in complete darkness, and were 

 generally found on heaps of the dung of the bat Emhallonura semicaudata ; they were very active 

 and diflficult to catch, and when pursued frequently jumped and alighted on the surface of the 

 water in the cave. It is probable that they occur in other caves, but they were never found in 

 the forest, in spite of the amount of general collecting which was done in the vicinity of Malololelei.
