Tliis is the first specimen of this niagiiificent cockroach, hu'gest 

 of the known American Epiiamprinae, we have seen. 



Length of body 38, length of pronotum 8.3, width of pronotum 

 12.7, length of tegmen 51.2, width of tegmen 15 mm. 



The limb armament, tarsi, pulvilli and tarsal claws are similar 

 to those of the species of Epilam-pra here recorded, except that the 

 large spines are so large that their margins can be seen to be strongly, 

 though microscopically, serrulate, while the three tarsal joints after 

 the metatarsus all have minute spines bordering the large pulvilli 

 laterad, these briefly continued proximad in the proximal section 

 of the second joint, the ventral surface of which is not fully occupied 

 by the pulvillus. 



The form of the pronotum, strongly convex above the head and 

 flat in the produced meso-caudal portion, is very different from that 

 of any of the species assigned to Epilampra, while the apices of the 

 tegmina are on the median line and rather sharply rounded.
