Were it not for the presence ii\ the series, of female specimens with the oothooa 

 protriiding from the cloaca, tliese minute cockroaches might readily be overlooked as 

 larval forms of an unknown species of Phyllodromia or Ischnojjtera. The species fi'om 

 Abyssinia described but not named by Aelung (Ann. ÄIus. Zool. Acad. Imjx St. 

 Petersbourg vol. IX p. 48, fig. 9 (1904)) may be referred to the genus Apterohhüta 

 and named after the distingnished Russian entomologist Adelungi.

Gen. Eustegasta Gerstaeokee. 



A careful examination of several species of this genus has convinced me that 

 tlie genus is more naturally placed in the family Epilampridce than in the Perisphcc- 

 riidce. The femora are armed, though sparsely, beneath, the front feniora with three 

 to four spines on the anterior margin, tlie hind femora with two to three on the 

 anterior margin and one to two on the posterior margin, the mid femora are unarmed 

 or eise bear one spine on tlie anterior margin. The supra-anal lamina of the female 

 is produced and generally the apex is eleft, so that it appears sub-bilobate. The 

 facts that the sexes are alike and that the species are viviparous add a little more 

 Support to the view, based on structural features, that Eustegasta is out of place in 

 the Perisphseriidae.
