80 INSECUTOR INSCITLE MENSTRUUS 



Latindia armata, new species. 



One male, Gatun, Canal Zone, Panama, A. H. Jennings. 



A large yellowish brown species differing from the described forms by 

 having the femora of all the legs armed on one side, the middle and hind 

 ones with a couple of spines and the front ones with three. A new 

 genus might with justice be based on this character. 



Head black, mouth parts yellowish ; eyes large, separated by a space 

 about as great as that between the antennal pits ; ocelli small, round, yel- 

 lowish in color and moderately prominent ; front and occiput with short 

 black hair ; antennae yellowish except the basal segment, which is black. 

 Pronotum subelliptical, more rounded anteriorly than posteriorly, gently 

 convex, the disk with a Icirge transversely oval shallow depression, more 

 distinct laterally, the whole disk with a not very dense covering of short 

 hairs, yellowish brown in color with some darker mottlings and marked 

 with some minute scattering round light spots with a black dot in the 

 center of each. Abdomen with the posterior-lateral angles not produced ; 

 supraanal and subgenital plates seem to be transverse and entire, though 

 they are somewhat injured in the unique type specimen ; cerci very long, 

 subtriangular in transverse section, and very distinctly segmented, the seg- 

 ments tapering at each end, the whole sparsely covered with short hadrs. 



Elytra yellowish brown with darker maculations, the surface with very' 

 short scattering hairs. Wings fuliginous, a row of distinct blackish spots 

 marking the costal terminations of the radial branches ; anal field slightly 

 over half as long as anterior field with a small second fold when at rest. 



Legs slender, brownish, the tarsi hairy above and below, the posterior 

 metatarsus longer than the rest of the segments together ; tibiae vnth about 

 five long apical spines and with a double series of similar spines above 

 and the middle and hind ones with a couple beneath also, the fore ones 

 unarmed beneath ; femora, in addition to movable genicular spines, 

 armed beneath on one margin with two spines on the middle and hind 

 legs and three on the anterior ones. 



Length, total, 12 mm.; pronotum, 2.5 mm.; elytra, 10 mm. Width, 

 pronotum, 3 mm. 



Type, Cat. No. 18360, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



This ample winged roach will probably be found to not be a typically 

 bromeliadicolous species.
