OF WASHINGTON.

the abdomen, testaceous, the veins of the lateral field and the dividing 

 vein lighter. Wings of the same length as the tegmina. Abdomen almost 

 black, cerci lighter. Ovipositor piceous, longer than the posterior femora. 

 Legs testaceous, immaculate. 



Length, exclusive of the ovipositor, 22 mm.; pronotum, 5 mm.; pos 

 terior femora, 14 mm. ; ovipositor, 16 mm. ; width of thorax, 7.5 mm. 



One female, adult; two males, immature. 



Type. No. 6819, U. S. National Museum. 



These specimens bear only the locality label. The species 

 seems somewhat allied to G. pcrsonatus Uhl., but the color is 

 much darker and the lateral lobes are more strongly inflexed pos 

 teriorly. The markings also are somewhat different. It is also 

 allied to G. domesticus Linn., but it is decidedly larger and darker 

 than any specimen of that species that I have seen. 



Prof. Sctidder* mentions a species of Gryllus, taken by Weed 

 in Bermuda, as presumably new ; but it has never been described 

 and may be the one here described, or it may be either G. abbre- 

 viatus or pennsylvanicus. 



Periplaneta americana Linnasus. 



Prof. Yen-ill's figure 198 is certainly not that of this species, as 

 both sexes of americana have the wings extending beyond the 

 tip of the abdomen. 



Stylopyga orientalis Linnaeus. 



This species belongs to the genus Blatta, of which it is the 

 type. 



Panchlora surinamensis Linnaeus. 



This belongs to and is the type of Brunner's genus Leucophaa. 



Panchlora maderae Olivier. 



This species has been removed from Panchlora by Dr. Krauss, 

 and forms the type of his genus Rhyparobia. 



Ectobia germanica Linna3iis. 



This belongs to my recently established genus BlatteUa\, which 

 replaces the preoccupied genus Phyllodromia of Serville. Ger 

 manica is the type of the genus.
