130 THE BLATTIDAE OF PANAMA 



slender, chitinous teeth, which curve toward each other, thus giving this portion 

 some resemblance to one of the smaller claws of a crab. 



Ventro-cephalic margin of cephalic femora armed with a row of minute and 

 somewhat irregular microscopic chaetiform spines, of which the more proximal are 

 the longer, terminated by a single elongate distal spine. Other limb characters as 

 given on page 132 for C. fuscipennis, there described. 



Allotype. — 9 ; Porto Bello, Panama. April 21, 1912. (A. 

 Busck.) [United States National Museum.] 



Agrees closely with type. Tegmina nearly as elongate. Interocular space 

 wider, fully four-fifths as wide as space between antennal sockets. Supra-anal plate 

 triangularly produced, strongly notched at apex, this rounded emarginate, deeper 

 than wide, the two sharply rounded portions thus formed with surfaces moderately 

 convex, lateral margins feebly concave. Subgenital plate ample, narrow distal 

 portion reflexed, longitudinally cleft mesad.

Head with vertex tawny to narrowest point between eyes, where this color is in 

 abrupt contrast with the warm buff interocular-ocellar area. In this intersection are 

 two conspicuous dots of dark chestnut brown, equally distant from each other and 

 from the eyes, while just below these in the buffy area are two smaller and much 

 more widely separated dots of the same color near the margins of the eyes; remain- 

 ing portions of face warm buff washed with ochraceous-tawny. Pronotum with 

 hexagonal disk ochraceous-orange tinged with tawny, very narrowly margined with 

 whitish, with two medio-longitudinal parallel lines of light buff, which in length are 

 slightly less than one-half that of the disk.'^s lateral portions transparent, very 

 faintly tinged with buckthorn brown. Remaining portions of dorsal surface ochra- 

 ceous-buff strongly washed with ochraceous-orange, a conspicuous dot of light 

 buff mesad on the moderately large, exposed scutellum. Tegmina transparent, 

 marginal and external two-thirds of scapular field immaculate, faintly tinged with 

 buff, remaining portions with veins and veinlets transparent, faintly tinged with 

 buff, the intervening areas tinged with ochraceous-orange."^" Wings transparent, 

 washed with ochraceous-orange, this decided in area of costal veins and distad in 

 anterior and radial fields. Ventral surface ochraceous-buff washed with ochraceous- 



"^* Minute flecks of light buff, latero-cephalad of and adjacent to these lines are found, 

 subobsolete or distinctly indicated, in the series at hand. 



"*'* This pencilling as in pellucida, stronger than in lata, much less consijicuous than in 

 tessellata.
