I08 THE BLATTIDAE OF PANAMA 



Central America, which has the male subgenital plate strongly 

 asymmetrical, produced sinistrad. 



The specimens here recorded are smaller and have less elongate 

 tegmina than the males originally described, while the eyes are 

 more approximate, subattingent in two, attingent in one individual. 



When compared with males of P. ciibensis Saussure, these indi- 

 viduals are seen to be slightly broader with surface more shining, 

 much as in P. minor Saussure and Zehntner.

This is a plain green species of the genus, having a blackish meso- 

 distal antennal annulus. The male genitalia were not originally 

 described, and we have thought it best to figure them for this 

 reason. 



The two females at hand have the interocular space showing 

 marked difference; in one equalling one-fourth the ocular width, in 

 the other over half the ocular width. In this sex the median 

 portion of the free margin of the subgenital plate is transverse, 

 normally showing no concavity whatever. 



The dark antennal annulus occupies one to three joints in the 

 present series. ^-^

128 \\7q h(>rg select as type of acolhua the unique female, described from the State of 

 Guerrero, Mexico. The specimens recorded as an unnamed variety of that species from 

 Capetillo, Guatemala, are either small examples of acolhua, or large individuals of minor, 

 while those described as fraterna are clearly the same as those described as acolhua 

 variety minor. 



12^ In other specimens of the species at hantl it occuijies seven to nine joints.
