Latiblattella inornata new species (Plate II, figure 21.) 



Related to L. pavida (Rehn),"*^ agreeing in the immaculate 

 coloration and general character of the male subgenital plate; 

 differing in the smaller size, immaculate inter-ocular-ocellar area 

 and, in the male, in the shorter and decidedly heavier styles, with 

 more slender internal process at base of sinistral style, w^hich 

 is nearly as long as that style and reaches nearly to its apex,** 

 and in the mesal produced portion of the subgenital plate which 

 is not curled upward along the distal margin. 



Type. — cf ; Rio Bejuco, Panama. (W. Schaus.) [United States 

 National Museum.] 



Size and form slightly less ample than in any of the described species of Latiblat- 

 tella. Head with interocular space approximately two-thirds as wide as that be- 

 tween the antennal sockets; inter-ocular-ocellar area distinctly flattened; ocelli 

 distinct. Maxillary palpi with third and fifth (distal) joints elongate, each decidedly 

 longer than fourth joint. Pronotum with angles broadly rounded; point of greatest 

 width meso-caudad; caudal margin very feebly convex, truncate. Tegmina with 

 numerous discoidal sectors (twelve) weakly oblique to caudal margin. Wings with 

 costal veins scarcely enlarged distad. 



*'' The insufficient descriptions, applicable to but one sex of the two described as vitrea 

 by Brunner and to chichimeca and maya of Saussure and Zchntner, leave us in no doubt 

 as to their being members of Latiblattella, but in complete ignorance as far as the most 

 important specific diagnostic characters are concerned. All are apparently distinctly 

 heavier species than inornata, as is true also for alaris Saussure and Zehntner, which, 

 from the description, can not be generically assigned without considerable doubt. 



*^ In pavida, this process is only slightly more than half as long as the sinistral style.
