These si)eeiniens ag;ree closely with the inure satisfaxdory de- 
scription snhseciuently given by Saussure. 
In spite of the decided tegniinal reduction and vestigial wings, 
t.lu! insect, knowui only from the female sex, is clearly a member 
of the genus Latiblattella, agreeing in all characters of form, tyi)e 
of female subgenital plate, limb armament, pulvilli, arolia and 
till-sal claws. In this insect the tarsal claw-s are very strongly 
asymmetrical, the shorter not extending (piite as far as the apical 
mai-gin of the very large arolium. The species has lieen refer- 
red to the composite genus Temnopteryx. 
In the present specimens, (Iried after immersion in alcohol, the 
only noteworthy color difference from the type is the paler ab- 
donu'n; rich shining hazel aliovc and below, broadly and sharply 
bordei'i'd with warm buff.
