DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INSECTS IN THE COLLECTION. 
Order: COLLEMBOLA. 
Sub-order: ARTHROPLEONA. 
Family: Popurwws. 
Genus: Acuorutes,+ Templeton. 
Numerous specimens of a small blue-black species belonging to this genus are 
present in the Collection. As Professor Carpenter has already recorded the common 
occurrence on Macquarie Island of the well-known and almost world-wide species 
A. viaticus, Tullberg, it seemed highly probable that the specimens here present belonged 
to the same species. There was, however, the possibility of an allied species of the 
same genus also occurring on the Island, either in company with the recorded species, or 
in some different habitat or locality. I therefore studied a considerable number of 
specimens, and compared my results with those obtained by Professor Carpenter. The 
conclusion I have come to is that the species here represented is the same as that studied 
by him. In most of the specimens studied by me, the anal papille are somewhat 
more elongated than in the figure given by Professor Carpenter (4, p. 378); but this 
may only be due to the poor state of preservation of the specimens, most of which have 
the cuticle standing well away from the underlying tissues. | My drawings of the post- 
antennal organ, ocelli, claw, and empodium, and of the dens and mucro of the spring, 
agree very closely with those of Professor Carpenter, as may be seen by comparing 
Text-fig. 1, a-d, with his figures already referred to. 
} I have followed Carpenter in refusing to recognise Bérner’s transference (1906) of this well-known name of seventy 
year’s standing, to that hitherto universally known as Anoura or Neanura, It is high time that a system of nomina 
conservanda should be adopted which should be inviolate from these termitic attacks,
