MORGAN HEBARD I 85 



from i\sheville, North Carolina, we have placed in the adventive 

 list, as we do not believe the species can become established in as 

 cold a climate. 



Specimens Examined: 40; 22 males, 12 females and 6 immature indi\-iduals.

Periplaneta australasiae (Fabricius) (Plate VII, figures 17 to 19.)

 Pacifico et regionibus incognitis revertente."] 



In the present distinctive species the pronotal color pattern is 

 the same as in P. americana and P. brunnea; unlike those species, 

 however, the outline of the darker markings is very sharply defined. 

 In coloration the species further differs from any other of the genus 

 found in America, in having the tegmina strikingly paler in their 

 marginal fields than elsewhere. 



The established synonyms of the present species are Blatta dom- 

 mgensis Beauvois, Periplaneta zonata Haan and Periplaneta re- 

 panda, siibcincta, incliisa, emittens and siibornata, all of Walker. 



In considering the position of this species, the coloration and 

 unspecialized median section of the male supra-anal plate would 

 suggest decidedly closer relationship to P. bruiniea than to P. 

 fuliginosa; the form of the greatly specialized male genital hook, 

 howe\er, is much nearer the type found in the latter species. 



Characters of Male. — (Homestead, Florida.) Size large, form stout; but more 

 graceful than in brunnea. Head much as in brunnea, but not as full; with inter- 

 ocular space slightlx- les- than one and one-half millimi'ters in width. Pronotum 

 .much as in bru)nica. but proportitjnalely less amijle and deepi'r, without traces ot 

 discoidal sulci and with weakly deflexed sides rounding more gradualK into the
