not quite so dark, sometimes with a more retldish tinge and with 
a paler, broadly crescentric and very weakly defined large area 
of russet meso-caudad on the pronotuni. 
From the description and figures of nigra Brunner, genotype 
of Dasyposoma, it appears prol)able that that species is based on 
an immature of some species of Ilormetica. It will be impossible 
to determine this definitely until the type, or similar Brazilian 
material, has been studied. 
One feature of particulai' interest is that arolia are not developed 
until the adult condition is reached. The absence of arolia in the 
adult condition of Parahonnetica led Brunner to place that genus 
in the Blaberinae. As we have noted above, it is certain that 
these two genera are very closely related and possibly not refer- 
al)le to the Perisphaeriinae, as assigned l)y Kirby and generally 
in contemporary literatm’e. 
Considerable size variation is shown by the present series.

In one male and one female, two very slightly paler antennal 
joints distad show a jiartial survival of the pale antennal annuli 
evident in the juveniles.

In the present ])a]ter we follow the same arrangement of the Alantidae 
given in our first Colombian study, not the more recent revised arrangement 
of Giglio-Tos, which, though on the whole more logical ami satisfactory, shows 
numerous serious defects.
