Blabera gigantea Linn. This very large cockroach, called " The

Blabera cubensis Sauss. Two, taken at Oxford one 16 August 1906,

 Shipping (? one) (Moore}. 



(Ectobius palltns Steph. ( ; 111. Brit. Ins.' Maiid. vi,p. 46) was described 

 from a single dried specimen, which had been " taken near London." 

 Eland Shaw says : " Fischer queries it as synonymous with E. lapponicus 

 Linn." I have examined Stephens' specimen which is in the British 

 Museum, and it is not an Ectobia, but a Phylladromia, and I should 

 think it probably a stray exotic species (" Syn. Brit. Orth." in ' Ent. 

 Mo. Mag.' 1889, p. 369).) 



* P. exoleta, P. virescens, P. nivea, and P. viridis are so mvich alike that 

 identifications are in some cases doubtful. The last three possibly are not 

 all distinct. These pale green Panchlorss have been taken once or twice in 

 Ireland.
