NEOSTYLOPYGA Shelford 

 191 1. Neostylopyga Shelford, Ent. Rec, xxiii, p. 242. 



The numerous species of the present genus are tropical in dis- 

 tribution, the majority being found in Africa and the far East. 



Genotype, by original designation: Neostylopyga rhombifolia 

 [[Blatta] rhombifolia] (Stoll). 



Generic Characters. — Sexes similar. Tegmina reduced to lateral, 

 squamiform lobes; wings absent. Fifth-^^ dorsal abdominal seg- 

 ment unmodified, not enlarged or declivent."^ External tibial 

 spines tri-seriately arranged. Tarsi with small distal pulvilli, the 

 pulvillus of the fourth (smallest) joint not entirely occupying its 

 ventral surface. Caudal metatarsus longer than the succeeding 

 joints. Arolia moderately large, truncate distad. 



"4 Shelford, in the Genera Insectorum, has given "sixth" dorsal abdominal segment, 

 due to the fact that he counted the median segment as the first. 



"5 An enlarged and declivent type of this segment is characteristic of females of the 

 Old World genus Pseudoderopellis.
