A. Schwarz in letter). Fig. 2. Anophthalmus tenuis Horn Fig. 3. Anophthalmus eremita Horn, Little Wyandotte Cave. — " A tolerably fair representation ; the last joint of the maxillary palpi should- be longer than the penultimate, and some indication of the elytral striae ought to be given " (Schwarz).
