Mr. R. Shelford's Studies of the Blattidm. 245 



Anaplecta hrunneri, n. sp. (Plate XVI, fig. 1.) 



$ and 5 . Rufo-testaceous, vertex of head darker ; antenna? 

 fuscous except at the base. Lateral margins of pronotum and of 

 tegmina as far as termination of mediastinal vein hyaline ; legs and 

 cerci testaceous. Tegmina with ten to eleven costal veins, the last 

 two or three irregular, discoidal field with three longitudinal veins, 

 anal vein well marked. Wings infuscated, with seven costal veins, 

 their ends slightly swollen, the medio-discal field crossed by three 

 venulse, the proximal one bifurcated, the median vein obsolescent 

 proximally, distally bent up to join the radial vein before its apex, 

 anterior ulnar vein simple, posterior ulnar obsolescent distally, first 

 axillaiy vein quadri-ramose, apical area as long as broad, two-fifths 

 of total wing-length, its basal margin straight. Supra-anal lamina 

 produced, its posterior border rounded, sub-genital lamina of male 

 with one style, the left. 



Total length 6 mm. ; length of tegmina 5 mm. 



Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Three examples (Oxford 

 Museum). 



The only two species with which this can possibly be 

 confused are A. imllida, BoL, from Ecuador, and A. fidgida, 

 Sss., from Mexico ; from the former it differs by the narrow 

 costal margin of the tegmina, by the smaller apical area 

 of the wings, and by the smaller number of transverse 

 venulse in the medio-discal field of the wings; from 

 A. fulgida, Sss., by the longitudinal discoidal veins of the 

 tegmina, and by the difierent wing-venation. 



Anaplecta pavida, n. sp. (Plate XVI, fig. 8.) 



$ . Flavo-testaceous ; pronotum almost orbicular with broad 

 hyaline margins ; abdomen fusco-testaceous ; legs and cerci 

 testaceous. Tegmina hyaline with an irregular fuscous macula at 

 base of the median vein ; ten costal veins, discoidal field with four 

 longitudinal veins. Wings slightly infuscated, ten costal veins, 

 medio-discal field crossed by two transverse venulse, the distal one 

 giving oft" an oblique longitudiual branch, one-fourth the length of 

 the medio-discal field, first axillary vein quadri-ramose, apical area a 

 little broader than long, one-fifth of total wing-length, basal margin 

 obtusely angled. Supra-anal lamina produced, rounded. 



Total length 6 mm. ; length of tegmina 5 mm. 



Cachabi, Ecuador ( TV. F. H. Rosenherg coll., Dec. 189G). 

 One example (Oxford Museum).
