Packard (Guide, p. C22) considens that these minute wingless forms 
afford a passage from the true winged insects to the Myriopods, and remarks 
tliat iti Lopisma the place of the abdominal legs is supplied by the rows of 
small stylets which prop up the abdomen. 
Lepisma saccharina. Cornelius (Stettin, ent. Zeit. xxx. p. 409) mentions 
having found more than forty examples in a nest of Hirundo rtistica in mid- 
winter. 
Anura tubercidata. M^Lachlan records the occurrence of immense swarms 
of this species on the surface of a pond near Hiingerford. Trans. Ent. vSoc.

Mallophaga. 
Packard (Guide, pp. 554, 555) considers the family to represent the 
most degraded forms of Ilomiptera, and gives a short general account of its 
characters. 
lluDow (Zeits. gesammt. Naturw. 1809, pp. 387-407) describes the fol- 
lowing new species chiefly from exotic birds ; according to him, they all 
belong to one family, Lithoeidce, which he characterizes: — Colpoccphalum

* The Recorder states his conviction that this group and the next do not 
come within his province, as embracing the orders Neuroptera and Orthoptera ; 
but, as they have boon included therein in previous volumes of the * Record,’ 
ho has thought it best to let them remain, so as to avoid the possibility of 
their being omitted altogether. 
The species marked with an asterisk would seem to have been previously 
described oy Rudow in the same journal, vol. xxvii. (see ‘Record ^ for 1867, 
p. 448).
