132 THE BLATTIDAE OF PANAMA 



plete) moderately heavy transverse veinlets, lesser veinlets distad connect the 

 median, ulnar and anal veins, which veins curve distad toward the costal margin; 

 axillary vein with two branches. Sixth dorsal abdominal segment with a large 

 circular area mesad which is weakly concave, supplied with agglutinated hairs 

 closely pressed against its surface. 



Supra-anal plate with length about one-third proximal width, trigonal, lateral 

 margins concave convergent to the moderately broad, rounded apex, which is sup- 

 plied with a few setae. Cerci elongate fusiform, dorsal surface flattened, well 

 supplied laterad and ventrad with elongate setae. Subgenital plate very small, 

 brief lateral portions reflexed with free margins weakly concave, oblique to the two 

 elongate styles, which are set deeply into sockets, between which the brief median 

 portion of the plate is oblique, slightly the more produced dextrad; styles similar, 

 straight, compressed cultriform, margins converging to acute apices, nearly four 

 times as long as basal width, extending slightly beyond apex of supra-anal plate. 



Ventro-cephalic margin of cephalic femora armed with a long row of. minutely 

 microscopic chaetiform spines, terminated by a single elongate distal, spine, other 

 ventral femoral margins unarmed except distad, supplied with a few moderately 

 elongate hairs, both margins of median and caudal femora with a single elongate 

 distal spine. Caudal metatarsus distinctly longer than combined length of suc- 

 ceeding joints. Fourth tarsal joint, alone, with ventral surface fully occupied by 

 a pulvillus. Large arolia present between the asymmetrical tarsal claws.

Agrees closely with male. Tegmina slightly less elongate. Intcrocular space
