(55) Echocerus maxillosus Fab. — Occurred in meal in the Brazilian exhibit, and is 
doubtless firmly established in this country, although 'still limited in distribution. 
(56) Alphitobius piceus 01. — In ajar of sorghum (?) seeds from Indo-China. 
(57) Alphitobius ovatus Hbst. (diaperinus Muls.). — In an unknown product in the 
Siamese exhibit. 
The last two species are cosmopolitan, and recorded in our local lists. Probably 
scavengers, at least not known to be injurious in America. 
(58) Pliylethus (Alphitophayus) bifasciatusSaj. — Living in abundance in dried fruit 
in one of the Central American buildings. Common in the United States, but not 
known to injure dried fruits. Observed by Mr. E. A. Schwarz, of this Division. 
Rhynchophora. 
(59) Rice Weevil (Calandra oryzw L.). — This species, as stated in the report to 
Mr. Buchanan, was found in the cereal exhibits of nearly all the tropical countries 
of both hemispheres. It thrives on all kinds of stored grain, including maize, wheat 
rice, rye, Kaffir corn, barley, oats, etc. 
(60) European Grain Weevil (Calandra granaria~L.). — Occurredin the cereal exhib- 
its of Spain, Mexico, Algeria, Cape of Good Hope, etc., being found in the greatest 
abundance in chick-peas. Although common enough in the United States it is still 
limited in distribution. 
(61) Calandra remotepunctata Gyll. — Considered merely a variety of the above. 
(62) Calandra sp. — A weevil similar to the two preceding, from leguminous seeds 
or beans from Brazil. 
(63) Balaninus sp. — Larva in acorns from Algeria. 
(64) Cryphalus jalappce Letz. — A small Scolytid in German exhibit in Manufac- 
tures Building. Infests jalap of commerce, but not considered detrimental. 
(65) Coccotrypes dactyliperda Fab. — Occurring in fruit of three species of palms 
exhibited by an Italian firm. 
(66) Coccotrypes sp. — In leguminous pods from Paraguay. 
(67) Hypothenemus eruditus Westw. — A single dead specimen of this cosmopolitan 
species which is discussed somewhat at length in Mr. F. H. Blandford's article in 
this number, was picked up in the Agricultural Building. 
(68) Arceocerus fasciculatus DeG. — Breeding in mace from Trinidad and Johore, and 
in cocoa beans from Liberia. Common in Southern States, but not especially inju- 
rious. 
The following, each represented by a dead specimen, were undoubtedly of acci- 
dental occurrence: 
(69) Platynus sp. — In a jar of chick-peas from Spain. 
(70) Conosoma littoreum L. — With the above. 
(71) Otiorhynchid. — In a jar of Brazilian beans. 
LEPIDOPTERA. 
(72) Indian Meal Moth (Plodia interpunctella Hbn.). — This well-known speeies 
occurred in abundance in several buildings in the exhibits of Argentine Republic, 
Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico, Cape of Good Hope, Orange Free State, etc., in grain, dried 
fruits, nuts, seeds, etc. 
(73) Mediterranean Flour Moth (Ephestia kuehniella Zell.). — Living.in meal, bran, 
and cakes in Mexican exhibit. Already introduced, but not widely known as a pest. 
(74) Ephestia sp. — Breeding in most exhibits, of which there were many, of cocoa 
beans. Infested beans are not considered by manufacturers in any way inferior to 
those which are free from attack. This moth has certainly been imported, many 
times a year, probably, forthe past century, and as it is not positively known to have 
become naturalized here there is little to fear from it in future. 
(75) Ephestia sp. — A similar moth to E. kuehniella, but somewhat larger and
