Abstract
During the winter of 1924–25 some living specimens of a terrestrial sand-hopper were sent by Major A. A. Dorrien-Smith, D.S.O., Governor of the Isles of Scilly, to Mrs. E. W. Sexton of the Plymouth Laboratory. The specimens, which were handed over to the writer by Mrs. Sexton, have proved on examination to belong to a new species, which is described below and given the name Talitrus dorrieni.According to information received with the specimens the species has a truly terrestrial habitat: it is found living among the moist humus and under dead leaves in the gardens of Tresco Abbey.
