92 FAMILY II. RLATTID/E. THE COCKROACHES. 



Gibson Co., Ind., March 18, one male; Marion and Vigo coun- 

 ties, Ind., three nymphs ; all taken about stores and probably in- 

 troduced with bananas (W. 8. B.). Hebard (1917a, 264) records 

 it as an adventive from 20 localities ranging from Ontario and 

 Massachusetts to Alberta and California. Eehn's type was a 

 male from Machuca, Nicaragua. This is probably the species 

 listed by Scudder (1900, 9) as N. Iwlosericea Klug. 



( ). NYCTOBORA L.EVIGATA (Beauv.), 1805, 228. 



Thorax almost black, its apex and sides bordered with yellow, disk 

 finely and rather thickly punctate Tegmina chocolate-brown, the mar- 

 gins of basal halves pale yellow; disk, except at base, punctate, like tho- 

 rax, each puncture bearing a very short yellowish hair. Under surface 

 and legs uniform dark brown. 



Often confused with A r . Hm'bata (Thunb.), but easily separated "by 

 the shorter, more ovate form, much larger and nearly semicircular prono- 

 tum, with caudal margin nearly straight; by the shorter tegmina and 

 wings which but slightly or not at all surpass the apex of abdomen, by the 

 more robust limbs, the much less velutinous surface and the uniformlv 

 colored coxae and femora." (R. & H.) Length of body, $, 27.2, 9, 26.5 

 27.8; of pronotum, #,9, 9, 8.28.6; of tegmina, $, 23.5, 9, 20.3 21. C 

 mm. Width of pronotum, $ and 9, 12 13.2; of tegmina, $, 10.7, 9, 

 10 mm. 



This handsome roach is a native of Hayti and Jamaica, and 

 adventive specimens have been taken at Toronto, Ontario, and in 

 a dozen localities in New England, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. 

 It has been recorded by Scudder, Rehn and Henshaw as N. sericea 

 Burin. R. & H. (1914g, 121) have treated the synonymy of N. 

 Iccvigata in detail. 



Subfamily TIT. EPILAMPRINJE. 



Medium sized, strongly flattened tropical species, having the 

 antennae setaceous ; tegmiua and wings fully developed, the ulnar 

 vein of wings with about 11 incomplete branches ; supra-anal plate 

 weakly bilobate in both sexes ; styles of male slender, set in 

 sockets. A single genus is represented in southern Florida. 



I. LEUROLESTES Rehn & Hebard, 1914c, 379. (Gr., "flat" -f "plun- 

 derer." ) 



Pronotum not covering vertex of head, its hind margin very 

 broadly rounded ; lower front margins of fore femora armed be- 

 neath on basal half with a few short, heavy spines, on apical half 

 with numerous very short spinules and with a single long spine 

 at apex; other femora armed with a few r scattered stout spines; 

 joints 1 4 of tarsi with pulvilli ; arolia distinct.
