Unfortunately no specimens were found in the large Wyandotte Cave, if it occurs there. It 
does not appear to be an inhabitant of Mammoth Cave, though occurring in Diamond Cave. 
The antennae in this species are much longer than in any American form known to us, and 
are much longer than in any European species figured by Lubbock, though in this respect it 
approaches nearest to D. annulata (Fabr.), which is a pale greenish-yellow species, with remark¬ 
ably long antennae. 
Remarks. —The result of the examination of specimens from different caves shows that this 
species varies most perceptibly in the length of the antennae, especially the fourth or terminal 
joint, which is shortest in the specimens inhabiting the smallest, shallowest cave (Bradford), and 
longest in the deep, perfectly-dark New Wyandotte Cave. In caves like those of Carter county 
and Diamond Cave the individuals are nearly alike, the antennae being a little longer than in the 
Bradford Cave specimens. It should be noticed that, compared with our American out-of-door 
species, the New Wyandotte examples have remarkably long antennae.

Ferruginous, mottled with bright orange-red; eyes distinct reddish, or deep brick-red; abdo¬ 
men globular; antennae moderately long and slender, ten to twelve jointed, with verticils of 
hairs; the spring rather large; the terminal joint acute, serrulate beneath, except at the end, 
which is obliquely truncated; the tarsus is perhaps rather slender; the claws only moderately 
stout. Length, l.l mm . Common in New Market and Weyer’s caves, Virginia. The young when 
0.8 mm long are whfte all over and with no traces of eyes. The antennae are slenderer than in 8. 
rosea Pack., and the claws are slenderer than in an undescribed Smynthurus from Massachusetts. 
It is doubtful whether this should be regarded as a true cave species any more than Tomocerus 
plumbeus, or Lepidocyrtus atropurpureus. Another white species occurs in Mammoth Cave.

Closely allied to G. staphylinus Westw. (common to Europe and America), but it is much 
larger; the antennae are twenty-four instead of twenty-jointed, as in the other species, and are 
longer in proportion, reaching to the basal abdominal segment, while in C. staphylinus they reach 
only to the second thoracic; the terminal joints are much longer than in that species, the penulti¬ 
mate joint being one-third longer. The terminal joint (PI. XVII, fig. le), as may be seen by com¬ 
parison with that of the out-of-door species (Fig. 2), is very much slenderer, while the olfactory (?) 
area (ol.) at the extreme end is somewhat larger. Terminal abdominal segment longer and slen¬ 
derer; hind femora longer than in G. staphylinus. Caudal stylets (cercopoda) about twelve-jointed, 
very long and slender (Fig. If). Entirely white, body somewhat pilose, some of the setse spinuiose 
(Fig. li). Length, .25 inch without the antennae and cercopods. Frequent in Mammoth, White’s, 
Salt, Diamond, Wyandotte (Packard), Indian Cave (Hubbard).

This species is described as being white. It is rare, and my single specimen seemed immature 
and was mislaid. Mammoth Cave. A Machilis also occurred in Wyandotte Cave.
