BLATTAKIJ",. 109 



Male. Testaceous, elliptical, smooth, shining. Head extending very 

 little beyond the prolhorax. Eyes black, wide apart. Antennae slender, 

 setose, much longer than the body. Prothorax hardly truncated in front ; 

 sides pale, diaphanous, rounded, slifjhlly reflexed; hind border hardly 

 rounded. Pectus piceous. Abdomen piceous beneath towards the base. 

 Cerci lanceolate, lon^, slender, setose. Legs stout; femora with long rather 

 stout spines beneath. Wings extending somewhat beyond the abdomen. 

 Fore wings with a pale diaphanous costal stripe which tapers from the base; 

 costa rounded; costal area very broad; veins hardly elevated; anal furrow 

 distinct; costal veins not forked ; transverse sectors numerous. Hind wings 

 cinereous. Length of the body 2^ lines ; of the wings 6 lines. 



It has some resemblance to the preceding species, but the veins of the 

 fore wings are different, the transverse sectors along the hind borders are 

 more numerous and the veins which terminate there are not forked.

Male. Testaceous, fusiform, smooth, shining, flat. Head extending 

 rather beyond the prolhorax. Eyes piceous, rather far apart. Antennas 

 pubescent, rather stout, a little longer than the body; joints compact, very 

 numerous. Prothorax much narrower in front, wiih a broad paler nearly 

 hyaline lamina on each side, which is rounded; hind border straight; fore 

 border truncated. Abdomen extending beyond the hind wings; styles 

 rather long and stout. Cerci very long, piceous towards the tips. Legs 

 stout; femora with a few short bristles; arolia large. Wings not extending 

 beyond the abdomen. Fore wings with a broad thickly and irregularly 

 reticulated costal area; costa rounded ; veins pale testaceous ; postmedial 

 costal veins forked; tran;iverse sectors rather numerous and irregular. 

 Hind wings pale cinereous: veins pale testaceous. Length of the body 5^ 

 lines; of the wings 16 lines. 



It has much resemblance to B. Hvida, but the hyaline sides of the 

 thorax are broader, and it differs widely from that species in the structure 

 of the veins of the fore wings.
