Subfamily EPILAMPRINAE 



The following features are considered diagnostic. — Antennae 

 setaceous, never plumose. Tegmina normally coriaceous or corne- 

 ous, fully developed or reduced. Wings with costal veins irregular, 

 ulnar vein with incomplete rami. Supra-anal plate weakly to 

 strongly bilobate in both sexes. Subgenital plate of male fre- 

 quently slightly asymmetrical, rounded, with slender styles set in 

 sockets, the dextral socket being the longer.^e- Femora with ventral 

 margins weakly to heavily armed. 



The members of this subfamily are all confined to the tropics. 

 A single species has become established in the Florida Keys. 



LEUROLESTES Rehn and Hebard 



Blatta, Nauphoeta, Phoetalia and Phaetalia of authors. ^''^

(June.) (New name given for preoccupied Watteyiwyliella:-'^^) 



The genus contains two circumtropical species. 



Genotype: Leurolestes pallidiis [N[auphoeta] pallida] (Brunner), 



2" Caudell's record of cincta is based on this specimen, or one taken with it. 



262 A somewhat similar general type of male subgenital plate is found in many species 

 of the Epilamprinae and Blaberinae. 



283 In the case of Phoetalia, laevigata of Beauvois was unfortunately designated as 

 genotype, and, in consequence, although the description is of the present genus, that 

 name falls in the synonymy under NyctUmra. Phaetalia was caused by Shclford's error 

 in spelling.
