BLATTARI/E. 201 



short longiludinal brown lines, slightly rounded in the middle and on each 

 side. Abdomen beneath speckled with brown, with longitudinal short 

 brown streaks on the hind borders of the segments, and with a brown 

 stripe which is abbreviated on the hind border of each segment, and does 

 not extend to the tip; hind angles of the segments elongated, acute ; 

 supra-anal lamina hyaline, bilobed. Legs stout. Wings extending much 

 beyond the abdomen, slightly truncated at the tips. Fore wings coriaceous, 

 very minutely punctured, minutely and regularly speckled with brown. 

 Hind wings pale cinereous, speckled with brown towards the tips ; apical 

 part of the costal space blackish. Length of the body 12 lines; of the 

 wings 28 lines. 



The prothorax is more prominent in front than in E. conformis, but 

 Jess so than in E. congrua, to which it is more nearly allied.

Epilampra deplanata. 



Fcem. Testacea, lata, fusiformis ; caput ochraceo trinotaium ; oculi 

 invicem vix remoti ; prothorax elliplicus, semihyaiinus, caput 

 pcrpaullo superans, fusco conspersus,utrinque subfoveolatus, margine 

 poslico subrolundato fusco-gultato ; abdomen dorso nigro-plagialo, 

 ventre rufo-cotisperso, lamina supra-anali biangulata ; alee abdomen 

 longe superanles, apice subrotundatce ; alee anticce lineas transversis 

 obscurioribus angulosis indelerminatis, triente apicali pallide cinerea 

 testacea conspersa ; ales posticce diaphance, area costali testacea apicem 

 versus fusco-conspersa. 



Female. Testaceous, fusiform, broad, convex, smooth. Head ex- 

 tending very nearly to the fore border of the prothorax ; three ochraceous 

 marks, one on the fore part of the vertex and two on the front. Eyes 

 black, hardly wide apart. Antennae piceous, testaceous towards the base. 

 Prothorax semihyaline, transversely elliptical, slightly depressed on each 

 side of the disk, thickly and very minutely speckled with brown ; fore 

 border more curved than the hind border, which is slightly rounded in the 

 middle and on each side, and is accompanied by a row of small narrow 

 brown dots. Abdomen broader than the prothorax ; a large quadrate black 

 patch in the disk ; underside thickly speckled with red; hind angles of 

 the segments elongated, acute; supra-anal lamina forming two acute lobes. 

 Cerci lanceolate, piceous above. Legs thick, rather short. Wings slightly 

 rounded at the tips, extending much beyond the abdomen. Fore wings 

 coriaceous, with incomplete and indistinct zigzag darker transverse lines ; 

 apical third-part pale cinereous, except along the costa, thinly speckled 

 with testaceous. Hind wings pellucid ; costal space testaceous, and 

 towards the tip speckled with brown. Length of the body 14 lines ; of the 

 wings 34 lines. 



The wide spreading prothorax of this species distinguishes it from all 

 the previous Epilampra here described.
