DORYLAEA BRYANTI, new species 



Two males and two females of a medium-sized black roach occurred 

 in the collection which apparently pertains to the genus Dorylaea, 

 but can not be identified with any described species. It is therefore 

 christened hryanti, in honor of the leader of the expedition, and 

 described as follows: 



Description, male and, female. — General color very dark chestnut 

 brown, the male the darker, being almost black; the female is decid- 

 edly lighter, especially the tegima; abdomen black above and below 

 in both sexes; legs, clypeus, mouth parts, and antennae yellow, the 

 antennae beyond the base and the tarsi a little darker; head shining, 

 piceous in the male and chestnut in the female, the eyes black to gray- 

 ish yellow mottled with black. 



Head with the vertex slightly exposed in both sexes; eyes sepa- 

 rated by a space about one and one-half times greater than the width 

 of one of them; interocellar space scarcely narrower than the inter- 

 ocular space. 



Pronotum smooth and shining; anterior margin narrowly rounded; 

 posterior margin very broadly rounded, almost subtruncate, mesially 

 barely produced; disk with the widest point well posterior of the 

 middle. 



Legs moderately slender; femora spined beneath, the anterior ones 

 on the caudal margin with four or five long spines and a few shorter 

 ones on the apical half and the cephalic margin with a row of ten or 

 eleven long spines extending along the greater portion of the length, 

 the basal one very short and those toward the apex of the femur 

 somewhat shorter than the others; the posterior metatarsus is approx- 

 imately equal in length with the other segments combined and armed 

 beneath for almost its entire length with a double row of bristles; 

 the second segment of the posterior tarsus is very sHghtly longer than 

 the succeeding two and is armed beneath on the basal four-fifths with 

 a double row of bristles; third segment short and armed beneath on 

 the basal two-thirds with bristles; pulvilii very short except that of 

 the fourth segment where it extends for the greater part of the length 

 of the segment; aroUa present, moderately large.
