RECORDS OF BLATTIDAE (oRTIIOPTERA) 
The supra-anal plate in the male is subchitinous meso-distad, 
the distal margin beiiiH; In'oadly rounded and irregularly serrate, 
the lateral margins with a ventral fringe of minute stout spines, 
the ventral surface of the subchitinous area with fewer and more 
irregular, heavier spines directed caudad; in the female this plate 
is triangularly produced, with margins weakly convex-conver- 
gent to the weakly and shallowly bilobate ai)ex. The male 
shows a heavy spine springing from the base of the sinistra! cer- 
cus, directed mesad, and l)elow this an elongate jdate, extending 
Ix'yond the median portion of the anal chamber, with dorso-dis- 
tal i)ortion produced in a I'ounded ])rojection; dextrad little 
specialization appears to occur. In the male the heavy styles are 
se))ai‘ated by a lesser distance than the width of one of these, the 
dextral style is somewhat the heavier and blunter, twice as long 
as its greatest wiilth; both styles are well suppli(Hl with minute 
but stout spines on their doi’sal surfaces.
