Enicnidee. 
(33) Pea Weevil (Bruchus pisorum L. [piai L.] ). — Noticed only in exhibits of 
Turkey. Brazil, and Utah. Said to occur wherever the pea is cultivated. 
(34) European Bean Weevil {Bruchus rufimanus Boh.) — the Bruchus granarius L. 
of many vrriters — occurred in most exhibits of large •• broad" or Windsor beans. 
including those of Spain. Italy. Algeria, and Tunis. Although this species has fre- 
quently been brought here it has probably not obtained permanent footing in the 
United States. 
(35) Common Bean Weevil {Bruchus oitectus Say). — The most formidable enemy 
of cultivated beans in North America. Beans damaged by this species were seen in 
the exhibits of Brazil. Venezuela. Mexico, Spain. Indo-China. etc. 
(36) Lentil Weevil (Bruchus lentis Boh). — In lentils from Spain and Turkey. 
Has been reported froniNew York, but not known to have become introduced here. 
(37) Bruchus 4-macuJatus Fab. — Swarmed in beans from Brazil and -Venezuela. 
Common in our more Southern States. 
(38) Bruchus chinensis L. (scutellaris Fab.). — Breeding in profusion in bean exhib- 
its of Japan and Porto Rico. Known in this country, but not yet widely distributed. 
(39) Bruchus chinerisis variety. — A small form of the preceding: in cultivated 
legumes from Ceylon. 
(10) Bruchus sp. — A small species somewhat like the preceding: in cultivated 
beans from Brazil. Probably new and injurious, but no living specimens noticed. 
(41) Bruchus sp. — A broad, reddish-brown species resembling in markings B. 
oltectus, in-'- pigeon peas" from Trinidad. This species is also liable to be injurious, 
but was not found living. 
(42) Bruchus sp. — In wild legume from Costa Rica. 
(43) Bruchus sp. — From seeds of Annatto from Paraguay and Venezuela 
(44) Bruchus sp. — In seed pods of Divi-divi from Curacao. 
(45) Bruchus sp. — In wild legume from Argentine Republic. 
(46) Bruchus sp. — Bred from Enterolobium pods from Paraguay. 
(47) Bruchus sp. — Bred from wild legume from Brazil. 
(48) Caryoborus sp. — In vegetable ivory from Ecuador. 
None of the seven species last mentioned are likely to be of economic importance 
in this country. 
(4£h Spennophagus (Zahrotes) sp. — A form resembling our native species: breeding 
in the greatest abundance in cultivated beans in the exhibits of Guatemala. Brazil, 
and Mexico. Likely to be introduced, and without doubt a dangerous species. 
Tenebrionidae. 
(50) Tenebrio sp. — A living larva of this genus, probably either T. molixor L. or 
T. olscurus Fab., our common ■• meal worms." was found in corn in the Guatemala 
Building. 
(51) Tribolium ferrugineum Tab. — Occurred in the cereal exhibits of most of the 
countries of tropical and subtropical America, Asia, and Africa, ranking in abun- 
dance with the Rice Weevil and Angoumois Grain Moth. Common also in Europe, 
and well distributed over this country, where it is sometimes called '• flour-weevil." 
and is often injurious to grain, meal, flour, and a great variety of other products. 
(52) Tribolium confusum Duval. — Occurred in Annatto from Liberia. The same 
form occurs in the United States, where it has been generally confused with the pre- 
ceding, from which it differs chiefly in the form of the antennae. 
(53) Palorus melinus Hbst. (depressus Fab.) — In meal from Brazil. Although not 
recorded in Henshaw's List, a series of this species in the National Museum shows 
that it is probably entitled to a place in the list of introduced species. 
(54) G-noAhocerus cornutus Thunb. — Occurred in the Brazilian exhibit in flour. It 
is said to be cosmopolitan but is recorded only from the Pacific coast of North 
America.
