These damaged specimens will hardly agree with any of the de- 

 scribed species, though possibly they are L. tolteca Saussure and 

 Zehntner (Biol. Cent.-Amer., Orth., i, p. 113). 



Blaberus ' trapezoideus Burmeister. 



1838, Blabera trapezoidea Burmeister, Handb. d. Ent., ii, p. 516. 



Three specimens ; Honduras and Central America (U- S. N. M.). 

 Tekanto, Yucatan (Acad. Nat. Sciences, Philadelphia). 



These specimens are somewhat doubtfully referred to this very 

 variable species. One possesses no spines on the lower margin of 

 the femora, which fact would place it in another section of the 

 genus, but Saussure and Zehntner inform us that these are obsolete 

 in some individuals. The maculation of the pronotum is very vari- 

 able in form and intensity ; in two specimens it is rounded posteriorly, 

 entirely free from the posterior margin of the pronotum, and with the 

 antero lateral angles much produced, the third specimen has the pos- 

 terior margin of the pronotum forming the posterior boundary of the 

 maculation.
